BaRAS’s team has extensive experience in a variety of landscape survey applications and can offer a full range of specialist analysis techniques including aerial photographic interpretation and digital based cartographic survey in order to fully interpret the history and development of a given landscape. Whether utilising existing digital surveys or producing an original topographic analysis, we can provide results in a format suitable to meet your GIS requirements.
By working with both local and National Grid coordinates, BaRAS ensure that significant archaeological discoveries can quickly and easily be relocated for future reference. By using Developer’s survey controls, any survey or map work can be linked to proposed development plans in order to develop suitable mitigation strategies to minimise both the threat to the archaeology and the cost implications for the client.
BaRAS’s offices are equipped with a range of survey and illustration software, including AutoCAD and GIS packages, enabling fast digitising and the production of high quality illustrations either for client use or for publication purposes.
