    About the Office of Archaeological Studies The New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies (OAS) conducts archaeological research projects throughout New Mexico with a diverse group of 13 archaeologists and support staff. Our mission is to identify, interpret, and share information about prehistoric and historic sites across the state. OAS serves other State agencies and private organizations that require archaeological studies as part of their development projects. In addition, we provide ethnographic and historical research services and have an education outreach program that directly interacts with New Mexicans in order to answer their questions about archaeology, history, and the heritage of New Mexico. That program twice received the Society for American Archaeology’s Excellence in Public Education Award, in 2005 and again in 2012. In addition to client-initiated projects, OAS conducts research projects that are funded by grants and private donations. Many of the projects make use of a dedicated corps of volunteers or involve our many research associates. OAS provides training opportunities for university students and makes use of their skills in the latest technology. We also engage in educational outreach programs in surrounding states. OAS has five specialized laboratories, a research library, and a publications department. Our archaeomagnetic dating laboratory is one of two full-time laboratories in the United States that are dedicated to this dating technique and our low-energy plasma radiocarbon sampling laboratory enables us to nearly non-destructive date fragile archaeological materials. Departmental Overview The New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies has been providing cultural resource management services throughout New Mexico since 1952. OAS continues to fulfill the Museum of New Mexico’s commitment to the highway archaeology program and has expanded to include a diverse client base. Our list of clients spans the breadth of private and public customers, yet much of the work that we have completed is for return clients. Since 1952 OAS archaeologists have conducted over 800 archaeological projects and produced nearly 1,000 reports. We have worked throughout New Mexico, adjacent states, and northern Mexico, with reports available on projects in all areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the USA.

What is the difference between topsoil and subsoil?

Topsoil and subsoil are distinct soil layers with different properties:
Topsoil: The uppermost layer, typically rich in organic matter, nutrients, and microorganisms. It's essential for plant growth and is often darker in color.
Subsoil: The layer beneath the topsoil, containing less organic matter and generally denser. It provides support for roots but is less fertile than topsoil.
During excavation, topsoil is often removed and preserved separately for later use in landscaping, while subsoil is typically used for backfilling or other less demanding applications.

Do I need a permit for excavation?

Permit requirements for excavation vary widely depending on your location and the project's specifics. Generally, permits are needed for:
  • Excavations Deeper Than a Certain Depth: This varies by jurisdiction, usually around 5 feet.
  • Excavations Near Utilities: Digging near buried utilities (gas, water, electric) often requires permits and utility locates to prevent damage.
  • Excavations Affecting Public Property: Projects impacting sidewalks, roads, or other public areas typically require permits.
  • Excavations in Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Projects in wetlands, floodplains, or other sensitive areas might need special permits.
Contact your local building department or planning authority to determine the permit requirements for your excavation project. Failure to obtain necessary permits can result in fines or project delays.

How do I calculate how much dirt I need for fill?

To calculate the volume of dirt (fill) needed, follow these steps:
  1. Determine the Area: Measure the length and width of the area you want to fill. Multiply them to get the area in square feet (or meters).
  2. Determine the Depth: Measure the difference between the existing grade and the desired grade (how much you need to raise the ground). This is the depth of fill required.
  3. Calculate Volume: Multiply the area (step 1) by the depth (step 2) to get the volume in cubic feet (or meters).
  4. Account for Compaction: Fill dirt compacts when it settles, so add 10% to 25% to the calculated volume to account for compaction. The exact percentage depends on the type of fill material.
For complex projects or uneven terrain, consult an excavation contractor or surveyor for accurate volume calculations.

What should I do before excavation starts?

Prior to the start of excavation, take these essential steps:
  • Clearly Define the Scope: Outline the project's goals, including the excavation area, depth, grade, and intended use.
  • Obtain Necessary Permits: Research and acquire any required permits from your local authorities.
  • Mark Utility Lines: Contact your utility companies to locate and mark underground utilities to prevent damage.
  • Communicate with Neighbors: Inform your neighbors about the project's timeline and potential noise or disruptions.
  • Prepare the Site: Clear any obstacles, such as vegetation, furniture, or structures, from the excavation area.
  • Discuss Safety Protocols: Review safety procedures with the contractor to ensure a safe work environment.
Taking these steps helps ensure a smooth and successful excavation project.
