Welcome
The rich cultural heritage of both historic and precontact human activity can help us understand the lives of the individuals who came before us. It’s unfortunate for science that most archaeological investigation and Cultural Resource Management activity is conducted for small land developments or improvement projects where the budget and schedule demand highly focused investigations. Most scientists would like more latitude to research a site then is permissible with limited construction or development funds; DAR understands this and it is our primary objective to give you no more and no less than is required for legal compliance.
CRM firms such as Drayton Archaeological Research are contracted by agencies, private parties or individuals seeking to comply with regulations mandated in laws such as Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Revised Code of Washington RCW 27.54 and RCW 27.44, as amended, before construction or ground disturbing activities can commence. By complying with these regulations we can help to ensure that current land development does not also mandate the destruction of our historic and prehistoric resources.
