Applied Archaeology (AA) and its island crew have been conducting archaeological and cultural resource management work in the Northern Marianas Islands for the past 25 years under SCS and now AA. our staff live on Saipan and Tinian and are intimate with not only the laws of the CNMI regarding historic properties, but archaeologically sensitivity zones on each island. We work in concert with the CNMI-Historic Preservation Division on many different types of projects, from archaeological monitoring to burial treatment.
