Experienced Team, Expert Analysis

Cultural resources projects often recover diverse collections of artifacts and specimens, including items made of clay, stone, shell, metal, mineral, and animal bone, as well as preserved seeds, pollen, and other plant remains. Desert Archaeology’s efficient team of in-house analytical specialists brings years of expertise and innovation to a wide range of artifact and biological analyses from both precontact and Historic era sites.

Artifact assessments and biological species identifications are used to determine the cultural and temporal affiliations of impacted sites. They help us understand how peoples related to their environment and to each other.

Desert Archaeology’s analysts contribute to all of our comprehensive cultural resources management projects. We provide complete analytical services for professional CRM and academic projects on a contract basis, from conducting basic identifications to recording detailed data and providing descriptive or synthetic reports to your specifications. Our staff can work from your analysis plan or collaborate with you to create a research design.
