I’m based in Locust Grove, Georgia, about 30 minutes south of Atlanta. I do accept shipped materials, and I recommend using a reliable carrier such as UPS or FedEx. For client within roughly a two-hour drive, I’m also available to arrange in-person pickup of your collection.

Yes, my deliverables are designed to integrate seamlessly into your reports. During our initial consultation, we’ll go over your preferred format, whether you need a stand-alone report or a section that can be inserted directly into your existing document.

Pricing is based on the size and complexity of your assemblage, as well as your reporting needs. Identification costs are calculated using a per-specimen rate, while reporting is estimated based on the time required, which we’ll determine during our initial consultation. Additional costs may apply when relevant, such as travel, lab supplies, or shipping.

That’s completely fine. If you’re unsure what services you need, we can start with your project goals and available materials. I’ll help determine the most appropriate approach and recommend the services that best fit your project.

Turnaround time varies depending on the size of the assemblage and the level of reporting required, but most projects are completed within approximately 4 to 8 weeks.

All clients receive a complete faunal dataset in Excel or CSV format documenting all data collected during analysis. If reporting is included in your project, you will also receive a PDF report, with the faunal dataset provided as an appendix. Additional or customized deliverables are available upon request for an additional fee.

In a word: collaborative. I approach each project as a partnership, where your goals, timelines, and reporting needs guide the analysis. Early in the process, we’ll discuss the scope of your project and what you’re trying to achieve so I can tailer the work accordingly. Throughout the project, I maintain open communication so you always know where things stand and can ask questions as they come up. The goal is to make the process straightforward and predictable on your end, while ensuring the analysis is thorough, transparent, and aligned with your reporting requirements.

To provide an accurate quote, please include an estimate of the number of faunal specimens in your assemblage, along with the site’s temporal and geographic context and your project timeline. Once we move forward, I’ll request any additional details needed to begin work efficiently.
