Archaeological investigation is undertaken in a phased approach, including assessment of the project area (Phase IA), identification and recordation of archaeological resources (Phase IB), assessment of their National Register eligibility (Phase II), and mitigation of potential impacts to significant archaeological resources through avoidance or data recovery (Phase III). To successfully navigate this process, Heritage Consultants employs a variety of strategies including consultation with interested parties, traditional archaeological excavation, remote sensing, GIS applications, construction monitoring, and detailed reporting of findings, among others. All of our projects are conducted in compliance with all Federal, state, and/or local regulations.
