We are proud to announce the publication of the newest State of the Archaeological Market Report. It presents the results of the survey for 2023-24, in the United Kingdom.
The overall aims of this survey are to provide:
- a unique analysis of the archaeological sector as part of the overall economy;
- statistics that allow estimation of total value of the sector to the economy;
- data on indicative numbers of employed professional archaeologists working in the commercial sector with comparative figures for other areas;
- data for analysis of long-term sustainability for the sector;
- data that can enable informed lobbying to help protect heritage; and
- data to support planning effectively for the future so that the industry is sustainable and results in a benefit for society.
