The Welsh Archaeological Trusts

The four Welsh Archaeological Trusts, were established in the mid 1970s to respond to the rapidly increasing demands of rescue archaeology and to provide a uniform local archaeology service across the whole of Wales. Based on the county areas of Clwyd-Powys, Dyfed, Glamorgan-Gwent and Gwynedd, the Trusts now provide a broad range of archaeological and heritage services in their respective areas - from the maintenance of Historic Environment Records and the provision of archaeological management advice and educational services to field survey, excavation and heritage interpretation. The four Trusts are independent limited companies with charitable status, employing professional archaeological staff with a wide range of expertise, and receiving financial support from both national and local government, commercial contract work and even private donation.
