What We Specialize In:

  • Phase I Cultural Resource Surveys: We conduct comprehensive Phase I surveys to identify and evaluate cultural resources within a project area. This is the first step in ensuring that any potential impacts on historical or archaeological sites are properly assessed and managed.
  • Preliminary Archival Reviews: Our team performs in-depth archival research to gather historical data that informs our surveys and evaluations. This research is crucial in understanding the historical context of a site before any physical investigation begins.
  • Intensive Background Research: We provide detailed background research reports that offer a thorough understanding of the cultural and historical significance of a project area. This research is essential for informed decision-making in project planning.
  • Due Diligence: We assist clients in fulfilling their legal and regulatory obligations by conducting due diligence in cultural resource management. This includes ensuring compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and other relevant laws.

Additional Services We Offer:

  • Phase II Testing Operations: When a Phase I survey identifies significant cultural resources, we conduct Phase II testing to evaluate the eligibility of these resources for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This involves more detailed excavation and analysis to determine the extent, integrity, and significance of the site.
  • National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Evaluation: Our team has successfully conducted evaluations to determine whether sites are eligible for listing on the NRHP, ensuring that important historical sites are recognized and preserved.
  • Construction Monitoring: We provide on-site monitoring during construction activities to ensure that any unexpected discoveries of cultural resources are handled appropriately. This service is essential for preventing damage to historical sites during development.
