A-Z of Council Services:

The Archaeological Handbook seeks to set practical guidelines for a consistent approach to the historic environment within the planning process in Lincolnshire. It outlines the principles of modern historic environment resource management and details those aspects of the process of relevance to Lincolnshire.

As a result it is hoped to establish effective long-term management of the county's archaeological and built heritage. The handbook is aimed at many different users. For planning officers, consultants, applicants, developers and architects its value will be as a reference tool when dealing with archaeological issues. For planning archaeologists, archaeological consultants and contractors it has more specific functions.

The Lincolnshire Archaeological Handbook was first published in 1998; it has now been extensively revised. To view please click on the link on the right.
