No analyses are being carried out in the 2022-2023 season.
This is due to other work commitments.
CeártaCloch provides specialist analysis of archaeological lithic material. Services are offered for assemblages of: commercial excavations, research excavations and projects, and fieldwalking projects. Analyses can be tailored to meet the goals of the investigation.
Material analysed includes: chipped, ground, and coarse lithics. A report and catalogue is produced for the client.
Site visits – field or storage – can be arranged for larger (undeliverable) lithic objects.
In-depth engagement is available through other services offered, including: consultation on research projects; and presentations for the purposes of public outreach and continuing professional development (CPD).
