Archaeology is happening all around us, everyday!

The new feature exhibit at the Museum of Ontario Archaeology explores how and why archaeology is done in the province of Ontario through artifacts, maps, tools, and interactive displays.

Visitors will learn about how archaeological sites are discovered and excavated, and what happens to artifact collections once they are recovered.
