About


We have created this free online library to ensure Wessex Archaeology’s research is available to as many people as possible. 

This free resource is one way we are trying to achieve our vision: for everyone to understand and appreciate the value of heritage for its social, economic and cultural benefits. 

We hope this digital resource supports others in their archaeological research and inspires new ideas. 

Wessex Archaeology is a trusted archaeology and heritage service provider and educational charity, bringing together leading minds and practitioners across a range of archaeological specialisms. Working in partnership, we deliver sustainable solutions to manage the historic environment, above ground, below ground and underwater, both in the UK and beyond. 

We are committed to our social impact. This means using the knowledge and connections we make through our projects as a catalyst to engage communities and advance knowledge and appreciation of the arts, culture, heritage and science.
