CCC is based in the Savannah (GA) and Beaufort (SC) area along the southeastern Atlantic Coast. We specialize in every aspect of cultural resource management including archaeology, historic research, architectural history, cemtery assessments, and remote sensing techniques. We work for private industry and businesses as well state and federal government agencies and private individuals.
And better yet, CCC is recognized by the Department of Transportation in Georgia and South Carolina as a minority woman-owned business, a distinction that may have economic benefits for our clients.
Cypress Cultural Consultants, LLC (CCC) can help you obtain cultural resource clearance quickly and efficiently. The rapid rate at which many areas of the southeast are developing has created a surplus of work for the small number of cultural resource management companies operating in this area. Many are over-booked which does not allow them to respond quickly to new projects. As a relatively new company, CCC is available NOW to start on your project. More importantly, we understand that projects require a balance between the value of history and the need for progress and development. Consequently, we are discrete and make our clients' needs our top priority at all times. We promise quality services at low-cost rates.

Daphne L. Owens – President
…is the principal investigator for Cypress Cultural Consultants. Daphne received a B.S. in Geology and Anthropology from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. She then received her Master’s Degree in 1997 from the University of Georgia. Her research interest involves phytoliths, plant microfossils that are currently being studied by only a handful of scientists around the world.
Daphne has helped conduct archaeological investigations at both prehistoric and historic sites throughout Georgia and Alabama including a Guale Indian village on Skidaway Island, Georgia and an antebellum house site in Montgomery, Alabama. She has also assisted in surveys at Ft. Stewart and Ft. Benning, Georgia. She developed and authored the cultural resource management plan for the Bankhead National Forest in northern Alabama. Daphne has perhaps gained her most valuable experience working for the Alabama State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in Montgomery as a Senior Archaeologist. She has conducted numerous reviews of Section 106 projects directed by other cultural resource management companies. This experience provided Daphne with the knowledge of what information is necessary for an effective NHPA, Section 106 review. She thoroughly understands federal and state guidelines and requirements since she helped formulate and enforce such requirements for the State of Alabama as part of her work responsibilities.
Daphne is known for her dedication to the completion of projects through careful planning and flexibility. She also works well with the public. She can incorporate public lectures, media interviews, and tours as appropriate as part of any project.
