Topic: CRM Behind the Scenes

While the excavation and discovery of archaeological material in the field has always captured the attention of many, the detailed research and analysis that occurs once those artifacts and ecofacts arrive in the lab is an adventure of its own.

From flaked lithic tools to calcined animal bone, this presentation aims to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the various steps undertaken in the Cultural Resource Management sector to carefully process, analyze and store objects of cultural significance recovered from various Euro-Canadian and Indigenous sites across Ontario.
