• 

  Archaeological Evaluations

  In one of the first stages of fieldwork, we conduct archaeological evaluations to establish the significance of cultural resources across project sites. Building a clear picture of the landscape, we conduct site record reviews alongside data curation agencies. Our experts then conduct inventories of cultural resources in the field and make recommendations to oversight agencies on site significance.

  Under PaleoWest’s expertise, your project will receive critical cost and logistical planning information and remain compliant with federal, state, and local regulations.

• 

  Archaeological Surveys

  Unexpected cultural site discoveries tend to cause costly delays, shutdowns, and fines for developers across multiple sectors. Our archaeological surveys avoid this by searching for, identifying, and documenting significant resources before you break ground..

  By embracing technology, PaleoWest has pioneered the use of tools including aerial mapping, 3D modeling, and GIS during surveys. We know the potential for costly delays that regulatory compliance processes can cause for your project. With these tools, our surveys provide a fast and cost-effective way of meeting your deadlines and planning needs.

• 

  Archaeological Excavations

  Following the use of nondestructive evaluations and surveys, our experts may carry out an archaeological excavation. Under the watchful eye of regulatory agencies, this can be a highly technical and intensive undertaking.

  Our experts are equipped to navigate your project through the unique challenges an excavation can present. Moving at a pace that meets your project’s schedule and objectives is our top priority.

• 

  Compliance Monitoring

  Our compliance monitoring experts will oversee your project from day one and ensure progress is being made on schedule within the scope of regulations and project plans.

  Thanks to our team’s wealth of experience, problems are spotted before their impact becomes costly and irreversible, resulting in potential penalties and delays for noncompliance. Compliance monitoring facilitates your project’s progression and provides the essential feedback and needed reporting to save you valuable time and money.
