Our Story
BARCA Archaeology Ltd was founded by Dr Peter Campbell and Dr Lisa Briggs with a simple goal in mind - to bring the depths within reach of maritime archaeologists and interested members of the public around the world. By finding lightening-fast, low-cost solutions for maritime archaeological research we are committed to democratising deep-water survey and underwater excavation, so that our shared underwater heritage can be studied, preserved, and experienced by all.
Our Community
At BARCA Archaeology Ltd., we believe that building a strong and supportive community is key to our success. By providing training and fieldwork opportunities for emerging maritime archaeologists, we are ensuring that the next generation of industry leaders are as passionate about submerged cultural heritage as we are! Through outreach events in Italy, Greece, the UK and the USA we raise awareness of our shared maritime history and why it must be protected.
Our Services
Our expertise in archaeological research allows us to offer a wide range of services. We conduct marine geophysics including Side Scan Sonar (SSS), Multibeam Echosounder (MBES), and target inspection through diver survey and ROV operations.For terrestrial sites, our Mavik 3 Pro-Res drone can rapidly create record archaeological features in 4K. For recovered artefacts, we conduct ancient DNA analysis and organic residue analysis of finds by working with our partners at the best laboratories in the world.
