How We Work

Lean Structure, Clear Value

CoreStone is built for efficiency without compromise. By keeping our structure lean, this model ensures high-quality, cost-effective service, especially for compliance-driven projects where time and budget matter.

Strategic Teaming that Scales

CoreStone is intentionally small and built for efficiency, because cultural compliance doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. Our lean model means you work directly with senior-level experts who understand your needs, provide clear guidance, and help you avoid costly delays. We specialize in early-stage permitting and focused archaeological assessments, ensuring your projects stay affordable and on schedule.

Responsible Technology, Smarter Insight

We use technology to efficiently review and synthesize existing archaeological records, site forms, and archival materials. This approach supports streamlined desktop assessments and early project planning. Our methods prioritize accuracy, regulatory compliance, and responsible management of cultural resources.

Grounded in Practice, Informed by Innovation

We apply modern tools and digital approaches to strengthen how we interpret and communicate archaeological information. Our methods emphasize clear collaboration, practical solutions, and adaptability, while always maintaining compliance and cultural sensitivity.

CoreStone provides technical writing and reporting support to help meet tight deadlines and fill resource gaps. We can draft Caltrans-compliant ASRs, contribute cultural sections for CEQA/NEPA documents, prepare survey plans, or finalize monitoring reports. All are tailored to your project and ready for regulatory review.

We assist:

  • CRM consultants who need extra support or report formatting.

  • Environmental planners and biologists requiring cultural resource expertise.

  • Small firms without dedicated cultural resources staff.

Our services integrate easily with existing templates and workflows, whether provided as white-labeled, co-branded, or subcontracted support.
