Eveha International

What Eveha International does

Eveha International is a France-based professional services firm specializing in international archaeological research and investigations. Founded in 2010 as the international arm of the parent company Éveha (established in 2006 and headquartered in Limoges), the firm operates across 30+ countries spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. It delivers an integrated service portfolio covering the full archaeological project lifecycle — field excavation, building surveys, topographical and geophysical surveys, underwater excavations, photogrammetry and 3D reconstruction, GIS modeling, artifact conservation, and research publication.

The firm is structured around a multi-disciplinary team of 147 collaborators since 2010, of which 53.5% hold PhDs or PhD candidacy, with most affiliated to CNRS laboratories or university research units (UMR 7041 ArScAn, UMR 5608 TRACES, HeRMA UR 15071, among others). Its core service model is project-based B2B engagement: the firm is invited by research institutions, government cultural heritage agencies, and museums to participate as a specialized service provider in archaeological missions. Notable engagements include co-direction of the Bouto mission in Egypt with the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut, work for the Ministry of Heritage and Culture of Oman (Wadi Hasid), and the joint French-Uzbek MAFBAP mission in Bactriane Protohistorique.

Eveha International generates revenue through professional services contracts and managed research partnerships, with pricing provided via project-based quotes rather than disclosed publicly. The firm is a private limited company (SARL/SAS equivalent) registered with RCS Limoges, led by Director Thomas Creissen and Deputy Directors Christophe Sévin and Joseph Kovacik. It maintains core strategic partnerships with ICOMOS, CNRS, IFAO, Inrap, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and multiple European and Middle Eastern universities, positioning it as a credentialed partner in UNESCO site classification and international heritage governance.
