West Point Redoubts – Virtual Exploration Platform
We are currently developing a virtual exploration platform for West Point’s Revolutionary War fortification sites for the U.S Army Corps of Engineers. The experience combines spatial mapping based on LiDAR and GPR data, historic research, and interpretive content to guide users through key redoubts and landscape features, extending our cultural resource documentation work at West Point into an accessible digital format.
Services Highlighted: Custom Software Development, LiDAR and GPR site modelling, virtual reconstruction and visualization

Mystic Valley Parkway Improvement Project – Mystic Lakes Region
As subconsultant on the Mystic Valley Parkway Improvement Project in the Mystic Lakes region, we completed a cultural resource reconnaissance and intensive (locational) archaeological survey along proposed roadway and parkway improvements. Drawing on decades of Section 106/110 NHPA compliance experience in Massachusetts, our team identified several ancient cultural sites for avoidance and protection, evaluated precontact and historic-period sensitivity, and documented stone walls and other cultural features. Testing included over 300 shovel test pits (STPs) optimally positioned for historic and precontact features. A total of 473 artifacts were recovered, 122 of which were precontact, across 11 archaeological sites, in an overall successful collaboration with the Mystic Valley Watershed Association, the Department of Conservation and Recreation, and the local historic commission for the continued preservation of the Mystic Lakes region.

Ridge Road Wireless Facility – Cultural Resources Sensitivity Assessment
For a proposed Verizon Wireless / SBA Communications cell tower on Ridge Road in Hardwick, MA, we prepared a cultural resources sensitivity assessment. Our team completed a half-mile MHC records review and targeted field verification of soils, terrain, stone walls, and potential archaeological features, and assessed the cultural and archaeological sensitivity at the tower site. The survey also documented a potentially significant 18th-century Massachusetts Turnpike No. 6 tollhouse foundation requiring avoidance and protection.

George Hill, Fay Mountain & Soap Hill Roads – Archaeological Reconnaissance Survey
We conducted an archaeological reconnaissance survey for approximately 2.5 miles of roadway improvements along George Hill Road, Fay Mountain Road, and Soap Hill Road in Grafton, MA. The work combined documentary research, field walkover, and soil-core testing to evaluate disturbance, intact soil horizons, and archaeological sensitivity, supported by GPS stone-wall inventory and photographic documentation. We identified sensitive precontact and historic-period areas and provided clear recommendations for avoidance and monitoring.

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) – Cultural Resources Sensitivity Assessment, Oakham, MA
We completed a cultural resources due-diligence review and field sensitivity assessment for an 18-acre parcel in Oakham, MA proposed for a battery energy storage system (BESS). The investigation documented deeply disturbed soils, extensive former junkyard redeposition, and assessed the cultural and archaeological sensitivity for the property while recording stone wall features recommended for avoidance. The work integrated desktop research, field verification, and regulatory review to support small-parcel energy development.
Services Highlighted: Due-diligence review, field sensitivity assessment, regulatory coordination

Utility and Infrastructure Projects – New England Region
We conduct comprehensive archaeological assessments and cultural resource management for utility and infrastructure upgrades across New England. We perform field testing for both reconnaissance and intensive surveys, as well as Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 archaeological investigation projects. Our work includes historic deed research, mapping, and extensive use of online state cultural resource GIS systems. We provide our clients with PNF submittals, GIS shapefiles, and project recommendations, and we engage with Tribal authorities and encourage their participation; we also provide documentation and informative sessions for historic commissions, property owners, and interested stakeholders. Our reports and recommendations are on file with the state agencies of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York.

Hope Cemetery – Worcester, MA
At Hope Cemetery in Worcester, Massachusetts, we conducted a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey to help the Friends of Hope Cemetery rediscover some of the city’s earliest founders. Historical records indicated that a grass-covered area contained 111 individuals whose remains had been relocated during downtown development, potentially with their stone markers. Our GPR survey successfully identified grave locations and associated gravestone anomalies, allowing 250-year-old colonial headstones dating to 1777 to be brought back to the surface and considered for interpretive display.
