Company Overview Leaders in Cultural Resource Management

Since 1979, Far Western has worked in partnership with private industry, government agencies, tribal organizations, and non-profit groups, to achieve the broader goals of the environmental review and compliance process. Today, we are recognized as one of the leading cultural resources consulting firms in the United States.

At Far Western, we assist our clients in complying with environmental and historic preservation laws such as the

National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the

Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the California

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Offices Expertise throughout western North America

Main Office – Davis, CA The main office of Far Western is in Davis, California, in the Central Valley midway between the Bay Area and the Sierra

Nevada. Our facilities were specifically designed for archaeological research and analysis. The office includes a large research laboratory and secure curation space, a comprehensive library, a complete production department, and a

GIS/Cartography center.

Far Western’s senior management team meets regularly in Davis to direct and supervise the company’s major contract, research, and administrative operations. Davis also serves as our central hub for graphic design and report production, GIS, laboratory analysis, and quality control. Our branch offices are linked to Davis with real-time access to company technical and administrative resources.

The main office is close to the University of California, Davis, the alma mater of several of our principals and employees, and we take full advantage of its resources (i.e., libraries, students, activities). We have been in Davis for more than 30 years and fit in well with the small, university-town culture.

Great Basin Office – Carson City, NV Far Western’s Great Basin Branch is in Carson City, Nevada. This branch office provides cultural resources services and research across the northern Great Basin region of Nevada, California, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah. Under the direction of

D. Craig Young, Ph.D., a Far Western Principal, the Great Basin staff includes 11 full-time cultural resources specialists and archaeologists who provide an in-depth understanding of the archaeological record and of management challenges particular to Nevada and the Great Basin. The office serves as a regional, full-service administrative and operational arm of Far Western, but is fully integrated with personnel and facilities provided by our main office, in Davis, California. The

Great Basin Branch is conveniently situated near Bureau of Land Management State and District offices, the Nevada

State Historic Preservation Office and archives, and retains close ties to the University of Nevada, Reno.

Desert Branch – Henderson, NV Located in Henderson, Nevada, the Desert Branch oversees Far Western’s operations in southern Nevada, southern

California, Utah, and Arizona. Daron Duke, Ph.D., serves as the Branch Director alongside a staff that includes seven full-time archaeologists. This staff specializes in cultural resources management throughout the Desert West. Our primary expertise is in the Great Basin and Mojave deserts, where we carry in-depth understanding of the archaeological record and best cultural resources management practices. Clients benefit from our long-standing relationships with federal agency personnel and record of excellence with large-scale compliance projects, including inventory and effects mitigation.

Closely integrated with our main office, in Davis, California, the Desert Branch serves as a regional, full-service administrative, and operational arm of Far Western. Our capabilities include comprehensive laboratory analysis and curatorial processing, GIS, and both print and electronic forms of public outreach.

Bay Area Branch – Sausalito, CA Located in Sausalito, California, the Bay Area Branch oversees Far Western’s operation for that area. Barb Siskin, M.A., serves as Branch Director.
