Two Rivers Archaeology LLC is a professional cultural resource consulting company. Our mission is to provide our clients with responsive, cost-effective solutions to meet their cultural resource management needs and to do so while adhering to the profession's highest ethical standards.
Professional cultural resource consulting has developed over the past 50 years in response to a variety of federal and state laws that require public agency review of government funded or regulated development projects and their potential effects on historical or culturally significant buildings, structures, sites, districts, and objects. Most notable among these laws are the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA); however, laws protecting cemeteries and unmarked human burial locations also warrant archival and/or archaeological review prior to project construction.
While many public agencies employ their own cultural resource managers, few agencies have sufficient resources to conduct detailed research and field investigations for the projects they sponsor or regulate. As a result, much of this compliance work is contracted to independent cultural resource consultants, like Two Rivers Archaeology, either by the lead agency or by the project sponsor seeking federal funds, licenses or permits.
