Hager-Richter has been involved with several high profile archeological
projects over the past few years. We have performed integrated geophysical
investigations at the Statue of Liberty Island National Monument, Bunker Hill
Monument, Lexington Battle Green, and the Dwight Derby House to name just a
few. Follow the links below for more details.
The ability to detect features of historical interest without disturbing the
subsurface has proven to be of great interest to the archeological community.
Depending on the scope of the archeological investigation, Hager-Richter can
design the geophysical investigation to meet the specific needs of our client.
Hager-Richter's experience at archeological sites combined with our geophysical
expertise make us a wise choice to supplement your archeological investigation.
