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

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.
