Services

Green Spring Research provides early heritage risk screening and archaeological planning support for project teams working in British Columbia.

The focus is narrow by design: practical, senior-level information that helps project teams understand archaeological risk before field programs, access plans, and schedules are fully committed.

Focused support before field costs escalate

These services are intended for early planning, due diligence, route and footprint review, consultant support, and project teams that need archaeology translated into clear next-step planning information.

Rapid Heritage Risk Scan

A concise early-stage desktop review for project footprints, route options, access planning, due diligence, or internal project screening.

  • terrain, landform, hydrology, and archaeological potential review
  • visible disturbance and previous land use screening
  • risk areas grouped as low, moderate, high, or uncertain
  • field strategy notes and recommended next steps
  • plain-language memo for project teams

Desktop Archaeological Potential Review

Review of available background information, landscape context, mapped data, and project footprint constraints to help identify where archaeological potential may require closer attention.

Disturbance Screening

Assessment of visible disturbance, prior development, access constraints, and land-use history to help separate areas of likely reduced archaeological integrity from areas that may require more careful review.

Field Strategy Support

Senior archaeological input on where field effort should be focused first, where uncertainty is highest, and how project teams can plan for likely next steps.

Project-Facing Heritage Risk Memo

A short, clear memo designed for project managers, environmental leads, consultants, and decision-makers who need archaeological risk translated into practical planning language.

AI-Assisted Screening Workflows

Structured research, risk tables, memo drafting, and documentation support using private AI-assisted workflows. These tools help organize information and reduce administrative friction. Professional judgment remains with the archaeologist.

Important scope note

These services support early planning and risk screening. They do not replace formal archaeological assessment, permitting, regulatory consultation, First Nations consultation, or professional obligations under the Heritage Conservation Act.
