York Archaeological Trust

York Archaeological Trust is an independent charity, founded in 1972, which investigates the past for the benefit of present communities and future generations. Linking professional skills and expertise in the practice of archaeology with broadly based background knowledge and experience, it carries out carefully targeted and cost effective archaeological recording, excavation and research for a broad range of clients and partners. The results are made available in a number of innovative and dynamic ways. The Trust has an impressive portfolio of published and ongoing work on historic buildings, extensive landscapes, urban investigations, artifact assemblages and environmental studies. Its specialist services - artifact studies and curatorial skills, archaeological conservation, publication and IT - are available to clients not only locally and regionally but nationally and internationally.
