Archaeological Survey and Investigation Services

Archaeological survey and investigation is a critical step in ensuring regulatory compliance for projects involving federal permits, public lands, or historic districts. At Bolton & Menk, we understand that while this process may not be optional, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Our cultural resources group works closely with design teams to deliver a seamless, sophisticated review that supports both compliance and project momentum.

Our archaeological survey and investigation services are tailored to meet the needs of projects that require Environmental Assessment Worksheets or are subject to federal or state funding requirements. We work efficiently to identify, evaluate, and when necessary, mitigate archaeological sites, especially in cases where avoidance is not possible. Our team is experienced in both off-site research and on-site excavations, ensuring a thorough and professional approach to every investigation.

Bolton & Menk’s cultural resources professionals are equipped to step in at any phase of a project, even when the need for archaeological investigation arises unexpectedly. We pride ourselves on making the process as painless as possible, helping clients navigate complex regulations while staying focused on their goals.

In addition to archaeological survey and investigation, our environmental planning services include aquatic resource delineations and permitting, natural resource surveys, community history and interpretation, and prairie restoration. This integrated approach ensures that your project receives comprehensive support from start to finish.

With Bolton & Menk, archaeological survey and investigation becomes a proactive, informed part of your project’s success—not a roadblock. Let us help you move forward with confidence.
