MBA's Cultural Resources team assists clients in preserving the prehistoric and historic cultural heritages of regions undergoing development. Our archaeologists and paleontologists conduct pre-construction site assessments through literature and archival record searches, field surveys and, if necessary, subsequent testing and recovery programs. Mitigation monitoring of earth-moving construction activities ensures that significant fossils, artifacts, and ecofacts encountered will be appropriately recorded, collected, curated, and documented in accordance with federal and state regulations, professional guidelines, and local government requirements and recommendations. The efforts of our Cultural Resources team ensure that these nonrenewable resources are saved for future scientific study and public education.
