Determine Your Project Site’s Probability for Cultural Resources

Desktop reviews help businesses accurately assess the probability for cultural resources within the project site. This helps with project planning, budget, due diligence demonstration, risk management, and the protection of resources.

Our comprehensive desktop reviews use data from a number of sources:

Local Geological Data
Archaeological
Historic
Ethnographic
Select Published Local Historic Records
Aerial Photography
Historic Maps

The process involves the review and analysis of past environmental and cultural contexts, and previous cultural resource studies and local sites recorded nearby the project area.

“Proactive, thorough, and quick.”

– Tom Dargan, Project Manager, Engineering

What clients have to say:

Tom Dargan, Project Manager at AHBL, shares his experience working with Drayton on Desktop Reviews.

“As part of our project planning, we had to get a desktop review covering the site’s probability for cultural resources to meet compliance requirements for the city.

Drayton not only took the time to ask clarifying questions to ensure they met our project’s needs but they did so thoroughly and quickly (they got us a proposal quickly and the final review too). They helped us coordinate communications with the city which helped save us time and potential confusion.

I recommend their services and will be using them again.”
