Welcome
Welcome to Brockington and Associates. We are specialists in Cultural Resources Consulting, and we work every day to be the best in this field. This means working for our clients' best long and short term needs. We strive to be the most knowledgeable archaeologists, historians, and other specialists, and to develop and implement best practices in all our field, laboratory, and educational work.
Our consulting focus is identifying archaeological sites, historic buildings, and other cultural properties so that they can be considered under environmental policy laws and regulations. We work with our clients to evaluate the significance of these properties, and then to develop the most effective plans to preserve or to mitigate impacts when necessary.
Working to be the Best in this Field
We are proud to have worked with leaders in several sectors of the private development industry. These include developers of residential property and resorts, plants and factories, pipelines, and transmission facilities. We have continuing contract agreements with transportation departments of many states. We work directly with many federal agencies, especially with the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Much of this work is through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. Our tribal consultation work has led to archaeology, history, and education projects directly for Indian nations.
We are proud of the work we have carried out since we formed our company in 1986, and we are pleased to have been selected as consultants by leading development firms and government agencies. We are very excited about several of our newer programs, including our recently formalized public interpretation program, The History Workshop.
