Our Historians and Registered Professional Archaeologists Are Expert Guides Into the World of Historic Preservation and Compliance

Historian and Archeologist Kay Wood founded Southern Research in 1993 with her husband Dean Wood. Over thirty years later, we are still located in a small town and are still a small business with broad capabilities, an experienced staff, and a proven track record. With over 200 years of combined experience, our small, tight-knit group is both well-versed in the various laws, regulations, and processes governing cultural resources compliance and also deeply knowledgeable about the archaeology and history of Georgia and surrounding states. We offer a wide variety of historic preservation services, tailoring our approach to the specific needs of a given project to help our clients navigate the process quickly and efficiently. As a small business, we maintain maximum flexibility, develop customized approaches and solutions, and pay timely attention to all projects.
