AICC’s Services in Central California

​AICC offers a full range of archaeological services, including archival research, field surveys, and site investigations to evaluate site eligibility for national, state, and local registers. We work to avoid, reduce, or mitigate impacts on prehistoric and historic resources.

​

In Central California, our work spans the entire project lifecycle—from early feasibility studies to field investigations, data recovery, lab analysis, and reporting. We provide construction monitoring and emergency response for unexpected discoveries.​
