Archaeology at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½

Archaeologists investigate past and present human cultures by studying the material traces—landscapes, sites, features, artifacts and ecofacts—left behind.

In the Department of Archaeology, our students engage in practical training and experiential learning in classroom, laboratory and fieldwork settings that provide a comprehensive education and transferable skills. Our state-of-the-art labs—focused on applied archaeological sciences, environmental archaeology, conservation, and artifact analysis—connect students with community-university research initiatives across Canada, the circumpolar North, the North Atlantic, and Europe.

As one of the largest Archaeology departments in the country, we prepare our students to become effective researchers, critical thinkers, and active stewards for our shared archaeological heritage.
