The NPA Regional Offices in Newcastle and Durham have a solid background in both commercial and research archaeology and have worked on a wide range of projects throughout the UK and abroad. We offer a modern, responsive heritage management service, based around the individual needs of our clients. Our strong background in archaeological computing, surveying and digital recording techniques means that we offer a range of technical services that traditional archaeological contractors are unable to provide.
