Bolivar Archaeology Project
A collaboration that centers residents, the community, and descendants
How do we learn from and respect the past while supporting sustainable development?
It starts with discovering the truth of our past by assembling the jigsaw of history. Our team’s archaeology, paleontology, architectural history, socio-cultural and economic consideration, and Indigenous services are uniquely positioned to protect and preserve the past while allowing for a responsible future.
With many voices involved in managing land resources—from regulatory agencies to Indigenous communities to private landowners—we strive to understand and listen to each party’s viewpoint. As detectives of history, we work closely with communities and clients to complete projects collaboratively and efficiently.
Our social-cultural and economic expertise can assess, plan, monitor, and manage impacts on infrastructure and resource developments. Our deep understanding of Indigenous relations helps clients honor the past while providing respectful and thoughtful development.
We partner and consult with community members during assessments, opening a window into local knowledge so we can fully appreciate the significance of each site.
Context is everything—history, community, the future. We find space for everyone to understand our history and work together for a better tomorrow
