UXO REMEDIATION SUPPORT

Certain unexploded ordnance (UXO) remediation projects may require archaeologists to be present for identification of culturally sensitive materials. ACR  specializes in this support and can provide an archaeologist cross-trained as a UXO Tech 1. This way, the Archeologist / UXO Tech can 'wear two hats' acting as both ordnance technician and archeological monitor in the grid.
For large projects requiring many archeologists monitoring multiple UXO dig teams, ACR uses a logistical and documentation methods we developed in the field specifically for allowing maximum efficiency and minimum down time while performing archeological support. 
Primary benefits to this setup:
  • Allows intrusive activities to continue while ACR's cross-trained archeologist examines artifacts discovered through intrusive activities.
  • Cost savings because one person fills job of both archeologist and UXO Tech I ​
