Cultural Resource Services

Waypoint, LLC provides comprehensive cultural resource management (CRM) services focused on the identification, evaluation, and documentation of historic and prehistoric resources, including historic cemeteries, structures, and archaeological sites. Our team supports compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), helping clients navigate federal, state, and local permitting requirements.

We regularly assist projects requiring coordination with agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Department of Transportation (DOT), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Because each state maintains its own cultural resource regulations, early identification of archaeological and historic resources is critical to avoiding costly delays and ensuring smooth project approvals.

Using advanced field and office technology—including GPS data collection, drone (UAV) mapping, GIS analysis (ArcGIS), and CAD platforms—Waypoint delivers cultural resource surveys and reporting tailored to project needs.

Archaeological Survey Services

Our team conducts Phase I and Phase II archaeological surveys across multiple states:

  • Phase I Archaeological Surveys: Identify the presence or absence of archaeological resources within a project area and evaluate their potential eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

  • Phase II Archaeological Evaluations: Assess site significance and research potential to determine NRHP eligibility and inform project planning and mitigation strategies.

By completing cultural resource investigations early in the project lifecycle, clients can reduce permitting risk, avoid redesign costs, and maintain project timelines.

Waypoint integrates drone (UAV) technology into archaeological investigations to enhance site visibility, mapping accuracy, and documentation efficiency. Drone-based surveys provide a powerful tool for identifying subtle landscape features and improving data collection in both rural and developed environments.
