Archaeology - Consultant's Directory

Welcome to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division Consultants Directory!

The intent of this directory is to provide to constituents and the general public a list of design and consulting professionals with interest and experience in dealing with historic and archaeological resources as they seek professional services and expertise when undertaking preservation projects.

Prospective applicants are welcome to submit a Consultants Directory Data Sheet (pdf) and completed information packet. Please note that all applications are reviewed before posting, after which they will be added to the Consultants Directory at its next update.

The Consultants Directory is a self-nominated directory. As such, inclusion in this Directory does not represent an endorsement, recommendation, evaluation or assumption of responsibility for the quality of work of any listed consultant. There is no representation implicit or implied that any work product produced by those listed will meet federal or state requirements. There is no representation implicit or implied that the information provided by the consultant is accurate -- it is made available as provided. Users of the Directory should contact at least three consultants and check references with previous clients as part of their own individual investigation and judgment regarding the reputation, cost, and quality of any particular firm.

Before utilizing the Directory, first time users, prospective applicants and repeat users, as well, are strongly encouraged to read the Directory User Instructions (pdf).
