WHO WE ARE


The Ontario Archaeological Society is a registered charitable organization that promotes the ethical practice of archaeology.

Ontario's historic and prehistoric resources are continually being destroyed by urban, commercial and industrial development.

The general public, students and professional alike are encouraged to become members of the Society and to support its co-ordinating role in helping to record and preserve our non-renewable cultural heritage.


OUR AIMS


  • To bring together individuals interested in the practice, promotion and advancement of archaeology, particularly in the province of Ontario.

  • To encourage and assist every effort, both individual and collective, which tends to foster, elevate and advance archaeology in the fields of learning and culture.

  • To discourage illegal archaeological investigation and excavation.

  • To facilitate the exchange of ideas and information, and to encourage co-operation among all those interested in the study of archaeology.

  • To publish archaeological literature and site reports.

  • To stimulate the interest of the general public in archaeology.
