At Harris Anthropological Research LLC (HAR), we believe research should not be limited to numbers and charts. Research should also include the people, stories, and the invisible forces shaping industries, communities, and cultures. Data may whisper patterns, but we listen for the full conversation - the unspoken motivations, behaviors, and histories that influence real-world decisions.
Through User Experience Research & Design (UXR) and Consumer Behavior Research, HAR helps clients decode consumer behavior, refine products, strengthen customer relationships, and navigate an ever-changing landscape with insights that go beyond the surface.
HAR’s Cultural Resource Management (CRM) Research & Consulting ensures businesses, institutions, and communities engage responsibly with cultural heritage through expert-driven insights and legal precision. Our Deep Time Commons research hub fosters collaborative archaeology and historical ecology, bridging cultural resource management, archaeology, and environmental research through crowdsourced knowledge and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Whether you’re designing for the future, forging deeper customer connections, or preserving the past, HAR transforms complex research into strategies that resonate, endure, and evolve alongside the real-world dynamics shaping industries and communities. Explore what we offer below for more detail.

Harris Anthropology knows their stuff! Very thorough but also concise. They were a great cultural survey partner for us on a telecommunications project. We highly recommend them!
