Cultural Resource Management is based on different regulations depending on the permits needed for your project. There are federal, state, and local laws that apply in different situations. Cultural resource law has been on the books for more than forty years; the intent of these laws is to protect the physical remains of our shared past for future generations.

During the permit process for your construction or other regulated development project, the permitting agency may request a Cultural Resource Assessment or archaeological survey; this is usually because they have determined the project has a high likelihood of encountering a historic site. This initial assessment will help to determine how best the project can continue without disturbing any cultural resources that are there and whether further investigation is needed.

We know this process can be frustrating, causing unexpected expense and delay. We'll work with you to provide the services and products you need to satisfy your permit conditions as quickly as possible.

We found DAR through a trusted referral. In the process of purchasing a sizeable residential property with development potential, DAR was extremely helpful in walking us through the archeological considerations and evaluation process as it pertains to land development and project permitting. As a residential client, they were also cognizant of our budget limitations and worked to successfully maintain scope on only the necessary work. DAR was easy to work with, and the work was carried out as described on time and on budget. We are thankful for their assistance in taking an important component of the guess work out of our purchase.
