There is no official certifying authority or requirement for cultural resource firms or practitioners. In general, a business is qualified to carry out cultural resource management activities if they employ staff who meet or exceed the Secretary of the Interior’s qualifications. All of CDC’s staff meet or exceed these qualifications within their field of study and area of responsibility. For archaeologists within the Cultural Resource Management field, membership within the Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA) certifies that an archaeologist meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Qualifications for Archaeologists.

Last week Kira Heinrich was out in Greenville, Mercer County to talk about our Schoolhouse Commons project and the five sites we uncovered. Her talk was well attended and it was a great opportunity for CDC to share the details about what we found. And we made the local newspaper! Check out the article about the presentation and photos from the event!
Hello Everyone! My name is Christina Hall, I am an intern at CDC, and I wanted to share what we have accomplished so far as we take a pause on curating the legacy collection here at the remote lab at the Haddonville School near Uniontown. We have had to take a pause in our work to identify more funding to continue the curation work we are doing for the Fort Gaddis Collection (36FA0122). Initially we started with 78 boxes, with our work to date and repackaging of artifacts we have condensed the collection to 54 boxes. Of those 54 boxes we have completed curation of roughly 20%! We hope to re-open our lab soon after finding more funding and continue our curation work. ![]()

Below I have attached an image of what the new completed boxes, that at are up to modern curation standards, look like. Every box contains fully inventoried materials that are organized with the artifacts in catalog and specimen number order. Also attached is an image of what the artifacts look like in their original condition. Very different! We are proud of our progress so far and can’t wait to get back to the project in the future!
