What is Wessex Archaeology?
Wessex Archaeology is one of the largest archaeological practices in the country, employing 150 archaeologists and working across the country. We work with councils, developers and heritage organisations to ensure that archaeological remains are recorded and preserved before work begins on new development schemes. Wessex Archaeology, which was set up in 1979 and is based just outside the medieval city of Salisbury, is also a charity, devoted to educating the public about archaeology through lectures, events and public relations.
