Series: Surrey County Council Archaeology Unit unpublished report series

The Surrey County Archaeological Unit (SCAU) provides a wide range of archaeological services. It has been working within the County for over 25 years. SCAU is a Registered Archaeological Organisation with the Institute of Field Archaeology, and forms part of the Heritage Group in Surrey County Council.The Team has a wide range of skills and considerable depth of experience, and this enables it to carry out many different kinds of archaeological work. It works for numerous clients who need archaeological work carried out in relation to new developments. This work can range from desk-top assessments of the impact of proposed works, through excavation and other fieldwork, to the preparation of reports, including detailed studies of all types of ancient artefacts. The team is also heavily involved in community archaeology and outreach. Surrey is rich with the physical remains of its former inhabitants, and Heritage Enterprise is especially interested in promoting understanding of these to the wider public. Its writing, design and illustration skills are highly regarded and widely used to provide popular books, heritage interpretation boards, exhibitions and posters. Its Community Archaeologist is especially important in working with schools, families and community groups on archaeological projects.
