Welcome to Far Western Anthropological Research Group

Since 1979, Far Western Anthropological Research Group has worked in partnership with both the environmental resource community and government agencies and is recognized as one of the leading cultural resource consulting firms in the western United States. This reputation rests on a foundation of solid, cost-effective management, and innovative project studies.

This proven combination has resulted in the successful completion of some of the most complex and demanding cultural resource programs in the highly-regulated energy, mining, military facilities, and transportation sectors.

At Far Western, we assist our clients in complying with environmental and historic preservation laws such as the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Jeffrey Rosenthal, Jack Meyer, William Hildebrandt, and Jay King are the recipients of a 2005 PRESERVATION DESIGN AWARD from the California Preservation Foundation for their Geoarchaeological Study and Sensitivity Model for the Southern Santa Clara, Hollister and San Juan Valley.
