At MAC we can provide advanced geospatial services for our clients. We specialize in the application of Geographic Information System (GIS) processes to cultural resource management; however our skills can also be applied to a wide range of other GIS and spatial analysis studies. Our capabilities include data collection, digital conversion, database creation, and modeling, as well as advanced spatial and statistical analyses.
We use current technology during all phases of a project to ensure that our maps are as accurate as possible. All of our field crews are equipped with GPS units and, when necessary, more advanced surveying equipment. Once the data has all been collected, our GIS specialists create project maps that accurately reflect the scope of the project, the necessary cultural resource survey corridor, and any archaeological sites that were encountered (although confidentiality requirements of the agencies may not allow us to divulge all location information). These maps allow us to add efficiencies to your project by recommending modifications (like re-routes or shifts in the project footprint) that may prevent the need for costly data recovery projects like full-scale excavations. Further, the maps allow us to more clearly understand the history and prehistory of the project area.
For clients that are just looking for GIS services, we provide fine cartographic production for brochures, posters, or reports to meet your needs. If you are in need of such services, please Contact Us.
