Our marine heritage consultants are experienced in the sourcing, manipulation and interpretation of marine geophysical datasets alongside Historic Environment Record datasets and archival research to create a full and detailed assessment of any marine historic environment anomaly that is present on the seabed. Our experience enables our consultants to use this analysis to deliver fully integrated research and mitigation proposals to our clients.

AOC’s lead marine heritage consultant Mark Littlewood has extensive experience in the preparation of marine EIAs for infrastructural development in the marine environment, meaning that the impact of proposed construction can be measured in a reliable way. AOC’s decades of experience in archaeological mitigation mean that we are experts in the realistic assessment of impact and in the preparation of recommendations which constitute proportionate responses.

AOC have a full remit of industry standard survey equipment, including the latest survey grade Global Navigation Satellite Systems and terrestrial high definition laser scanners as well as the latest geomatics and GIS software and dedicated teams with extensive and in depth experience in the processing, manipulation, interpretation and dissemination of the results from any archaeological project.
