CULTURAL RESOURCES

Our Experience Runs Deep

NV5 has a broad base of experience that covers a full range of services requiring cultural resource compliance and consultation. Our services include all aspects of cultural resource management — from site file searches to data recovery; from attending project team meetings to presenting before the Cultural Properties Review Committee (CPRC); and from preparing text for programmatic agreements to having our work reviewed by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. Our seasoned archaeologists have worked throughout the state, have the ability to work on all public and state lands, and meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards. Marron is experienced with the Section 106 process of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), New Mexico Historic Preservation laws, and specific guidelines of each land management agency [e.g., the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and New Mexico State Land Office (SLO)]. As is so important in obtaining clearances, NV5 has built excellent relationships with the regulatory and resource agencies, including the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). NV5 also maintains relationships with many of the tribes and pueblos in New Mexico, which facilitates our ability to conduct tribal consultations regarding sensitive areas and traditional cultural properties.

NV5 personnel include specialists in prehistoric and historic archaeology, history, architectural history, historic preservation planning, artifact curation, urban archaeology, and Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record (HABS/HAER) documentation. A Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialist, an editor, an Information Technology (IT) specialist, and administrative staff support our technical personnel.
