In this episode of Breaking Ground, host Steve Hadley chats to Jim Williams who works for Historic England, which advises the government on the historic environment.
Williams helps to carry out Historic England’s mission to “champion heritage to improve people’s lives” by managing a team of science advisors across the country.
It is their job to help local authority archaeologists with the scientific aspects of the archaeology that they see on a day-to-day basis. This includes offering advice on scientific dating, on different methods of geophysical surveys, how to deal with human remains and environmental sampling.
Williams notes that the historic environment and its study through archaeology is important, as it plays a key role in the planning and development process.
