Principal Staff

Andrew Tizzard MCIfA is the founder of AS Archaeology & Heritage Services and a fully accredited Member (MCIfA) of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists. His career in archaeology began in 1974 when he was employed as a Post-Excavation Assistant with the Southwark Archaeological Excavation Committee (SAEC).

In 1975, Andrew joined the Department of Urban Archaeology (DUA) at the Museum of London, then based at the Guildhall Museum. During his time with the DUA, he worked on numerous deeply stratified urban development sites throughout the City of London, including major excavations along the Thames waterfront. These projects contributed significantly to the understanding of London’s complex archaeological and historical development.

Following his departure from the DUA, Andrew expanded his professional experience by working as a contract archaeologist on projects throughout the United Kingdom and continental Europe. His work encompassed both urban and rural environments, each presenting unique challenges, methodologies, and research objectives. This breadth of experience has provided him with a comprehensive understanding of archaeological practice across a wide range of contexts.

With more than 45 years of professional experience in the heritage sector, Andrew has developed extensive expertise in archaeological management and consultancy, particularly in relation to planning and development projects where heritage considerations form an integral part of the planning approval process. He is also an experienced forensic archaeologist and has participated in investigations at numerous crime scenes, applying archaeological techniques to support forensic enquiries.

AS Archaeology & Heritage Services is supported by a team of specialists with expertise in heritage consultancy, historic building conservation, field archaeology, and historic environment research. The company is committed to delivering successful outcomes for every project through professional excellence, practical solutions, and a client-focused approach. As industry professionals, the team continually strives to innovate and improve its services, ensuring the highest standards of quality and achieving the best possible results for clients and stakeholders alike.

Josh Stanley BA PCIfA is AS Archaeology & Heritage Services’ Senior Field Archaeologist, Surveyor, and Drone Operator. He possesses extensive experience in archaeological excavation, site recording, and geomatics, supported by a strong background in civil engineering, where he has worked as both a Site Engineer and Surveyor.

Throughout his career, Josh has contributed to a diverse range of archaeological projects, investigating sites that span from prehistoric burial monuments and Roman settlements to post-medieval urban developments. His experience includes trench evaluations, open-area excavations, watching briefs, and detailed archaeological recording. In every project, he is committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, documentation, and professional practice.

Alongside his archaeological expertise, Josh has developed proficiency in surveying and geospatial technologies. He regularly utilises GPS systems, total stations, laser scanners, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to capture highly accurate spatial data. This information is then processed using CAD and related software to produce detailed topographical surveys, digital terrain models, and three-dimensional site reconstructions. These advanced recording techniques enable the precise documentation of archaeological, commercial and heritage assets, providing valuable datasets that enhance interpretation, support informed decision-making, and deliver significant benefits to clients.

Josh’s background in civil engineering offers a distinct advantage when working within active construction and development environments. His understanding of site operations allows him to work effectively alongside contractors, planners, architects, and consultants, ensuring that archaeological requirements are integrated seamlessly into wider project programmes. This experience also underpins his strong commitment to health and safety, efficient project delivery, and effective communication between all stakeholders.

For Josh, archaeology and surveying are far more than professions; they are lifelong passions. He takes great pride in producing meticulous, meaningful work that helps clients connect with and understand the historic environment. Driven by a genuine enthusiasm for discovery and innovation, he continually seeks opportunities to embrace new challenges, contribute to significant projects, and further expand his professional knowledge and expertise.

Outside of his professional life, Josh is a devoted father and an enthusiastic lifelong learner with a particular interest in ancient history, landscape archaeology, and the ways in which past communities interacted with their environment. His curiosity and dedication to understanding the past continue to inform and inspire his work in the present.

We would like to introduce the newest member of the AS Archaeology & Heritage Services team, Morwenna.

We feel incredibly fortunate that a chance meeting at one of our community engagement events led to Morwenna joining us as our Post-Excavations Manager. With a lifelong passion for archaeology and heritage, combined with a background as a registered paramedic, she brings a particular interest in forensic archaeology and osteoarchaeology.

Since joining the team, Morwenna has quickly found her niche, developing a keen knowledge of and enthusiasm for all things clay tobacco pipe-related. She also has a remarkable analytical eye, spotting even the smallest errors in site paperwork in an instant. Her attention to detail, enthusiasm for learning, and investigative approach are already proving invaluable, and she is fast establishing herself as a passionate and talented archaeologist.
