Business Philosophy
Arrowhead Archaeology believes in adopting a co-operative, collaborative
approach to large scale or particularly complex projects, and is willing to undertake such projects on a joint venture basis
with other consultancies and highly regarded professional colleagues. Arrowhead Archaeology is open
to collaborative ventures with other organisations, and is always willing to discuss these. Where undertaking fieldwork
and post-excavation analysis, we have an extensive list of highly qualified and experienced specialists to whom we sub-contract
work on a project by project basis.
The Name
The name derives from the arrowhead depicted on the Arrowhead Archaeology logo. This fine early Bronze
Age barbed and tanged arrowhead was found by Phil during his research survey work in Stoke Abbott in the Marshwood Vale
in west Dorset; it is made of Portland chert, and is one of several lithics finds in this material among a very large
assemblage of surface collected finds from the survey area.
