Archaeology: how Tarmac deals with important finds

We take our archaeological responsibilities very seriously.

When topsoil is moved before quarrying, a professional archaeologist watches for anything that may indicate further investigation is needed.

The operation stops and the feature is examined, dated and recorded.

Our archaeological archive of photographs, measurements and fragments of pottery and flint tools found at the quarry is open to the public at:

Bedale Museum, Bedale Hall, North End, Bedale. Tel: 01677 423797.
