Richard Farley

Archaeologist, AllStar Ecology, LLC

Richard Farley is an enthusiastic new face for the CWVA! He attended Morgantown High School in Monongalia County, West Virginia. Richard recently accepted a position at Allstar Ecology in Fairmont, West Virginia where he works as a cultural resource manager.

Richard earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Anthropology from West Virginia University in 2017. He studied under one CWVA’s current members, Dr. Amy Hirshman. He went on to achieve his Master’s of Applied Archaeology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, which offers coursework in technical skills associated with fieldwork and site survey along with coursework on preservation law, ethics, and archaeological methods.

Richard currently works alongside CWVA Vice-President elect, Charity Moore, at Allstar Ecology. Charity has appreciated Richard’s enthusiasm for the field of archaeology and interest in becoming more active in archaeology at the state-level, so she encouraged Richard to apply for membership! We are delighted to have such a young, qualified applicant applying for membership with the CWVA this year to help lead us into the future.
