These stories capture the \u201csoul\u201d of our communities. Cultural resources are fragile and easily damaged or destroyed, often to the dismay of those who created or used them. Most communities protect their cultural heritage through regulations that require cultural resources (e.g., archaeological sites, historic buildings, landscapes) be identified, evaluated for significance, and, if possible, protected or documented before they are impacted by proposed development.<br><br>Projects may be delayed if effects on cultural resources are not recognized and managed early on in project planning. Project proponents can acquire substantial good will and respect if they willingly and honestly address cultural resources\/cultural heritage issues before projects begin and incorporate effective measures to minimize or mitigate potentially adverse project effects.&nbsp;<br><br>ArchTam is a recognized international leader in cultural resources management (CRM) and cultural heritage practice. We have undertaken thousands of CRM and cultural heritage projects throughout the U.S., Canada, and across the globe on behalf of public and private clients. Our interdisciplinary teams of archaeologists, architectural historians, historians, ethnographers, planners, architects, and social scientists deliver fully integrated services throughout the research, planning, design, and implementation processes of varying-sized projects.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>We recognize and understand the complexity of governmental regulations, industry standards, and our clients\u2019 missions, which allows us to complete projects efficiently and cost effectively. We use the most appropriate technologies and methodologies for each project to achieve accepted results in a timely and cost-effective manner. We solve problems with creative solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aecom-custom-block block-facts\"\n    style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 40px\">\n\n            <h2>Key ArchTam Attributes <\/h2>\n        <ul class=\"list-style-bullets\">\n                    <li>\n                                    ArchTam employs hundreds of cultural resources and cultural heritage specialists in North America and around the globe, which provides a breadth and depth of experience unmatched by other firms.                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Our North American cultural resources staff are strategically located across the U.S. and Canada, such that individuals and teams can respond promptly and efficiently to client requests.                             <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    A wide range of ArchTam\u2019s cultural resources staff meet the U.
