Description
Historic England seeks a contractor for a 6-month project (August 2025 - February 2026) to assess archaeology's contribution to non-heritage science and innovation. The project involves identifying up to twenty case studies where archaeological materials have impacted fields like biology, climate science, and health. These must be evidence-based, peer-reviewed, and demonstrate measurable impact. A second component will explore future potential for archaeology in non-heritage sectors. Outputs include a detailed research report, a 5-page summary, and a PowerPoint deck. The contractor should have expertise in archaeology, science, and research analysis, and will collaborate with Historic England throughout the project.
