In Italy, preventive archaeology interventions undertaken by external agencies (private companies or local agencies) and commissioned by the Archaeological Boards of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities are regulated by Italian Law No. 109 of 25 June 2005.

Akra Iapygia is fully resourced to provide skilled support in preventive archaeology to public agencies as well as to the private sector by:

• Carrying out archaeological risk maps
• Conducting preventive archaeological excavations
• Monitoring public works

We also:

• guarantee skilled archaeological consultancy during the planning process as well as during the actual work (water pipes, sewage system, power lines, telephone lines, roads, squares, buildings and renovation, etc.)
• liaise on our clients’ behalf with the appropriate Archaeological Board

Our skilled, professional staff not only work in close cooperation with  the project manager, but also within the relevant standards and guidelines of  the Archaeological Board.
