Technical support for the Diagnóstico Arqueológico de Superficie (DAS), Peru's surface assessment instrument for extensive projects.
For large areas or linear projects where a DAS is the appropriate archaeological certification route.
A surface-based archaeological assessment prepared to support the applicable certification process.
Design and execution support for a Proyecto de Evaluación Arqueológica (PEA) under Peru's cultural heritage framework.
When archaeological evidence must be evaluated, recorded, or delimited through an authorized intervention.
An evaluation project with defined methodology, documented results, and technically supported recommendations.
Specialized documentation to support requests that require a favorable archaeological opinion from the competent authority.
When another permit or project decision requires formal archaeological conformity or supporting evidence.
A structured technical submission aligned with the requirements of the relevant Peruvian authority.
Controlled archaeological recovery, recording, and documentation before an approved intervention proceeds.
When identified archaeological evidence must be recovered and documented before the affected area is developed.
A professionally managed salvage intervention with traceable field and documentary records.
During construction
Manage archaeological obligations during ground disturbance and complete the required project records.
Preparation and field implementation support for a Plan de Monitoreo Arqueológico (PMAR) during ground-disturbing works.
During excavation, grading, trenching, or other construction activities involving ground disturbance.
A monitoring framework and specialist support for managing archaeological finds and maintaining project records.
Technical and documentary support for projects eligible for Peru’s simplified archaeological monitoring pathway.
When the project characteristics meet the conditions established for the applicable simplified process.
A proportionate application and monitoring approach consistent with the confirmed regulatory scope.
Technical support to maintain administrative continuity when an archaeological authorization requires an extension or renewal.

For research initiatives requiring formal authorization, fieldwork, analysis, and documented results.
An integrated research project covering authorization, field execution, and technical reporting.
Independent archaeological analysis for disputes, potential damage, administrative proceedings, and technical decision-making.
When a defensible specialist opinion is needed to assess evidence, impacts, or competing claims.
An evidence-based expert report supported by documentary and, where applicable, field review.
Technical guidance for integrating archaeological heritage into responsible and viable tourism initiatives.
When a tourism project includes, adjoins, or interprets archaeological heritage.
