Welcome to
CoreStone Archaeology

As a woman-owned firm, CoreStone Archaeology specializes in guiding clients through California’s cultural and environmental regulations. Our lean structure and efficient processes mean we deliver expert archaeological compliance without unnecessary overhead, saving time and money while honoring our shared heritage.

Why CoreStone?

Efficient, Adaptable, and Cost-Effective Project Delivery

CoreStone is built to be lean, responsive, and focused on practical solutions. We support cultural compliance at every project phase by clearly defining scopes and budgets, coordinating directly with clients, tribal partners, and subject-matter specialists, and communicating consistently throughout. Our minimal overhead allows us to provide consistent Principal Investigator-level support at a competitive rate.

We're highly mobile and able to scale quickly through a trusted network of collaborators. Our approach helps clients meet deadlines and regulatory requirements without sacrificing quality. Tribal and community consultation is central to our practice, and we prioritize care, respect, and consistency in every interaction.

Clear, Practical Regulatory Support

Navigating CEQA, Section 106, and local cultural resource requirements doesn’t have to be complicated. CoreStone provides clear, regulator-ready reporting and direct coordination with agency reviewers and tribal representatives. We prepare documentation such as Historic Property Survey Reports, Archaeological Survey Reports, and Historic Resource Evaluation Reports, customized to each project's specific scope and regulatory needs.

Our deliverables are accurate, compliant with current standards, and designed to help projects move ahead smoothly.

Collaborative, Cross-Disciplinary Teaming

We team strategically with biologists, engineers, tribal monitors, GIS analysts, and other specialists selected to match each project's specific needs. CoreStone’s lean structure allows us to scale quickly, maintaining a personal touch while staying efficient and competitive. Our trusted network of independent consultants and small firms shares our core values of stewardship, clear communication, and professional integrity.

Our role is to assemble the right expertise early, manage cultural compliance smoothly, and keep projects on track, even when scopes are complex.
