^{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.}
