Mike Allen offers land snail analysis, environmental and geoarchaeological services and advice, sampling and radiocarbon advice on a freelance basis. He is one of the country's leading environmental archaeologists and can advise and undertake analysis on field, assessment and post-excavation programmes. He can provide a range of other services including lecturing, teaching, site visits, sampling, report writing, editing, advice, and management of environmental archaeological projects.

After 18 years full time experience at Wessex Archaeology and 24 years in the profession, Mike has considerable and wide ranging experience. This includes working on key projects such as Stonehenge and the British Archaeological Award winning Mary Rose volume (Before the mast; life & death aboard the Mary Rose ed. Gardiner with Allen). Remember, Mike is an archaeologist so he can place environmental science well within the archaeological context.

Mike is happy to visit your offices and discuss any of this. Rates are variable as they are task-dependent.
