Cultural Resources Team

Meet EOR's Cultural Resources Team

Because Protecting Cultural Resources Takes More Than One Kind of Expertise.

EOR's Cultural Resources Team is led by Meredith Anderson, a Registered Professional Archaeologist since 2010. The RPA credential means that she meets nationally recognized standards for education, field experience, and ethical practice in archaeology.  Meredith works side-by-side with an interdisciplinary team of EOR professionals that include Water Resource and Civil Engineers, Environmental Planners, Biologists. Ecologists, and Hydrologists.  Every team member has hands-on experience with regulatory due diligence, environmental permitting, and development review.  Our team sees a project site holistically: a place where natural systems, human history, and community values all meet.

Why an Integrated Team Makes a Difference

Cultural resources don't exist in isolation. A historic site may sit beside a wetland. A group of archaeological sites may follow a river whose course has shifted over time. A restoration project may touch land that holds deep meaning for a Tribal community.

As an interdisciplinary team, we can:

  • Spot cultural resource concerns early,
    while there is still time to adjust site design.

  • Coordinate environmental and cultural permitting together,
    which reduces duplicate effort and keeps reviews moving.

  • Design creative solutions
    that protect important places and still meet project goals and regulatory compliance.

  • Provide a single, coordinated point of contact
    for complex, multi-agency projects.

Our wide range of partners include:

  • Public agencies and municipalities
  • Private developers and landowners
  • Federal, state, and local government agencies
  • Environmental and conservation organizations
