BEAR CREEK ARCHEOLOGY INC

BEAR CREEK ARCHEOLOGY INC specializes in cultural resource management and archaeological survey services for federal land and conservation programs. The firm conducts field-based cultural resource inventories, archaeological site identification and evaluation, and compliance-driven documentation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and NEPA requirements. Their technical expertise includes pedestrian survey, shovel testing, artifact analysis, and preparation of cultural resource assessments for federal land management agencies, with a demonstrated focus on prehistoric and historic sites in agricultural and riparian environments. A key differentiator is their localized, field-ready methodology tailored to the ecological and cultural landscapes of the Upper Midwest, particularly Iowa, enabling efficient, accurate, and regulatory-compliant outcomes for conservation projects. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, delivering cultural resource services for conservation planning and land stewardship initiatives, and has also supported the Department of the Interior on National Wildlife Refuge projects. Their work consistently aligns with NRCS conservation easement programs and Interior’s wildlife habitat management mandates, indicating a trusted, repeat-client dynamic rooted in reliable, compliant deliverables. Their primary industry focus is environmental consulting services under NAICS 541620, where they provide specialized archaeological and cultural resource services rather than broader environmental engineering or remediation. This positions them as a niche provider within the federal land management sector, serving agencies that require precise adherence to historic preservation statutes. BEAR CREEK ARCHEOLOGY INC is a small, locally based firm headquartered in Cresco, Iowa, operating as a limited liability entity without federal certifications. Their geographic presence is centered in the Midwest, with deep familiarity with regional archaeological contexts and state-specific regulatory frameworks, allowing them to deliver targeted, efficient services to federal partners with minimal logistical overhead.
