Our historic environment bears evidence of 500,000 years of human activity - ancient sites, monuments and landscapes, historic towns, villages and buildings, ancient features and finds.
Archaeology is the discovery, study and understanding of this evidence.
We work in partnership with others to protect and enhance Cambridgeshire's historic environment, to promote
- sustainable growth,
- access,
- active citizenship,
- lifelong learning, and
- a sense of place for communities.
We provide
- advice and information on the archaeology and historic environment
- outreach and learning opportunities for schools and communities.
