Archaeological Research Services (ARS) is a provider of high quality archaeological consultancy services. Current clients include English Heritage, National Parks and UK universities, amongst our other customers. We specialise in the design, implementation and completion of archaeological research projects and have considerable experience of all aspects of project management. In addition to archaeological research ARS are also providers of archaeological interpretation for the general public. This has included designing, constructing and managing two small archaeological heritage attractions in northern England. Such work has included the design of information panels, self-guide leaflets, guidebooks, teacher's packs and provision of marketing and media services. ARS is based in Sheffield, UK, and is directed by Dr. Clive Waddington who also holds a Visiting Lectureship at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Our mission is to undertake archaeological research to the highest standard and to disseminate the results to both academic and public audiences. The conservation of our archaeological heritage relies on effective widespread education to ensure responsible long-term management of this threatened and non-renewable resource. At ARS we are keen to involve wide participation in local archaeological projects.
