Cultural Heritage Expertise for Stronger Project Teams

Cultural Heritage Resource Impact Solutions, Inc. (CHRIS) partners with government agencies, prime contractors, universities, museums, nonprofit organizations, engineering and environmental firms, community organizations, and fellow cultural resource professionals to provide specialized expertise for projects involving cultural heritage, archaeology, historic properties, cemeteries and burial grounds, human remains, legacy collections, cultural landscapes, and complex historical research.

​

CHRIS can participate as a prime contractor, subcontractor, specialist consultant, technical partner, or collaborative research partner depending on the needs of the project.

 

How CHRIS Can Support Your Team

​

Archaeology & Cultural Resources

CHRIS provides archaeological research, assessment, field investigation, documentation, and technical reporting for projects involving historic and archaeological resources. Services include Phase I-III investigations, archaeological monitoring, historical background research, site documentation, GIS and spatial analysis, and support for Section 106 and other cultural resource review processes.

​

Cemeteries & Burial Grounds

CHRIS provides specialized services for historic cemeteries, burial grounds, and projects where known or potential burials require careful investigation and planning. Services include cemetery identification and documentation, archival research, mapping, burial sensitivity assessment, non-invasive investigation, preservation planning, and technical guidance.

​

Human Remains & Legacy Collections

CHRIS supports institutions and organizations responsible for human remains and historically significant legacy collections. Services may include osteological assessment, collections documentation, historical and provenance research, legacy collection review, and research and planning supporting return, reburial, and responsible stewardship.

​

Historical & Cultural Research

CHRIS conducts archival, documentary, archaeological, and interdisciplinary research to reconstruct histories, evaluate cultural resources, and support institutional and project decision-making. Areas of specialization include African American heritage, historic landscapes, cemeteries and burial grounds, property and community histories, and development of historical contexts and National Register documentation.

​

Strategic Cultural Heritage Advisory

Some cultural heritage matters do not fit neatly within a traditional archaeological scope. CHRIS provides research-based technical and strategic guidance for institutions, agencies, communities, and project teams navigating sensitive or unusually complex cultural heritage issues.

​

Ways We Partner

CHRIS is available for prime and subcontractor relationships, federal, state, and local contracting teams, RFP/RFQ teaming, specialized technical scopes within multidisciplinary projects, university and museum collaborations, grant-funded initiatives, research partnerships, conference and publication collaborations, and short-term technical consultation requiring specialized cultural heritage expertise.

​

Why Partner With CHRIS

CHRIS uses a principal-led model that gives project partners direct access to senior-level professional expertise. Our work integrates archaeology, forensic anthropology, historical research, cemetery preservation, cultural resource management, osteological analysis, GIS and spatial documentation, and project management.

​

CHRIS brings particular expertise in African American heritage, mortuary archaeology, human remains, descendant-connected research, historic cemeteries and burial grounds, legacy collections, and historically sensitive cultural resources.

​

When a project requires additional disciplines or capacity, CHRIS can assemble qualified subcontract specialists appropriate to the scope while retaining responsibility for project coordination, technical integration, quality, schedule, and delivery.
