ONTARIO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY

The Ontario Archaeological Society advances public understanding of archaeology through education, research, and community engagement across the province. The organization offers lectures, workshops, and field schools that teach people about Ontario's archaeological heritage, from Indigenous cultures to European settlement periods. Members gain access to publications, conferences, and opportunities to participate in digs and surveys. The society bridges the gap between professional archaeologists and the general public, making the study of human history and material culture accessible to everyone from students to retirees in the Toronto area and beyond. By fostering appreciation for archaeology, the organization helps people understand the rich and complex histories embedded in the landscape around them.
