Field-walking is an evaluation technique based on the collection of artefacts from a ploughed field. This allows areas of archaeological significance to be rapidly located and characterised. It often forms part of a wider landscape survey where the existing ground surface and any surviving earthworks or historical landscape features are recorded accurately with GPS or Total Station Theodolite. Our staff have extensive field experience of both landscape survey and fieldwalking and can produce clear and easily understood maps and plans using a variety of graphics and GIS packages.
