About ArchEx
The people who quote your job are the people who do it.
Archaeological Excavations has done Aboriginal and historical heritage work since 2010. Led by Adam Deane, we're a small, experienced team: the research, the fieldwork and the report are done by the same people, start to finish.
We've worked alongside Traditional Owner groups and Registered Aboriginal Parties across Victoria and Western Australia, on everything from house blocks and subdivisions to quarries, roads, pipelines, optic fibre routes and mine sites.
Where we work
Different laws in every state. One team that knows them all.
Aboriginal and historical heritage are protected by different Acts in every state and territory. Tell us where your project is and we'll tell you which apply, what you'll need and what it involves. We have a base in every state and territory, and travel anywhere.
