What our clients and partners say about working with Rubicon.
“Rubicon Archaeology is an Irish company that is going from strength to strength. The Enterprise Ireland team in Germany were delighted to support them on this project and are very proud to see them succeed in winning this contract allowing them to grow internationally.”
“We’re delighted with the enthusiasm that Rubicon have showed and the skillset and the technology to disseminate and share their work that they have been doing to date.”
“It’s really great to see the role of Rubicon Archaeology, an Irish company, in such an important archaeological project in Wales, and really wonderful to see the beautiful book that’s been produced, documenting everything that has been found.”
“It’s been fantastic to see the archaeological finds showcased in such a unique way, and for everyone associated with Brookside Meadows to learn more about the area’s history since the Roman villa was unveiled. The level of detail available has been incredible and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with Red River Archaeology on this project.”
