Leaders in Cultural Resource Management Since 1979
A thorough consideration of cultural resources is integral, if not often crucial, to the broader goals of the environmental review and compliance process. At the same time, there are many faces to cultural resource studies - prehistoric and historic archaeology, historic architecture, historical studies, traditional cultural properties, contemporary Native American concerns - each with their own set of issues and challenges.
Since 1979, Far Western Anthropological Research Group has worked in partnership with both the environmental resource community and government agencies to meet these challenges and, in so doing, is today 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).
