The next few years are forecast to be a time of considerable change affecting our historic environment. Large-scale infrastructure projects like HS2, major road schemes, and a mammoth programme of house building are forecast to very significantly increase the demand for a skilled historic environment workforce, at a time when some of the country’s most experienced archaeological specialists are approaching retirement. As a sector we need to try to get to grips with the impact of these two factors, and to invest focused resources into accommodating them.
The national heritage agencies (including Historic England) have commissioned Landward Research to undertake a new survey of archaeological specialists, building on the work that was undertaken in 2010. The aim is to find out more about the distribution of specialists, their working environments, their training needs and opportunities, and their thoughts on the future.
If you are an archaeological specialist or scientist, please invest just 10 minutes of your time to complete the questionnaire, and encourage others to do the same.
If you are an employer of archaeological specialists or scientists, please ask your staff to complete the questionnaire and spread the word about it.
If you have any queries about the survey, please contact [log in to unmask]

The survey closes on 3rd February 2017
Many thanks for your time!
Kind regards
