Our expert services include archaeological investigations, feasibility studies, historic architectural preservation, and laboratory analysis, tailored to meet the legal and technical requirements of cultural compliance in this region.

As leaders in Cultural Resources Management in South Louisiana, we understand the vital importance of preserving our region’s diverse and layered history. SPARC helps clients identify, evaluate, and protect cultural resources while meeting complex regulatory obligations. Whether you’re navigating Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act or seeking guidance on local and federal preservation standards, SPARC brings clarity, expertise, and professionalism to every phase of your project.

With over 70 years of combined experience, our team has served agencies, engineering firms, developers, and private landowners across the Southeast. Our deep knowledge of Gulf Coast history, archaeology, and architecture gives us a unique perspective in evaluating significance and ensuring project success with minimal delays.

Our services begin with thorough feasibility studies and continue through Phase I–III archaeological surveys, architectural documentation, and mitigation strategies. SPARC also provides expert support through laboratory analysis, artifact conservation, and GIS-based cultural landscape mapping.

At SPARC, we believe cultural resources management is more than compliance—it’s stewardship. We partner with our clients to develop practical solutions that honor both project goals and the cultural heritage of South Louisiana.
