Local authority archaeology services in England are delivered via a variety of mechanisms and structures that have evolved according to local circumstances. In order to assist local authorities in supporting services that are effective for their own unique needs, ALGAO: England commissioned Landward Research to develop an understanding of how these structures have evolved and what contributes to their success or failure.
This report explores changes and adaptations that have been made to services in response to differing pressures and constraints since 2010, and alternative models of delivery that have been considered are examined.
