Artifact Analysis

Come and watch archaeologists at work!

*

Three separate communities have come together to create a public event that will showcase local First Nations history, archaeology and our local communities on the Sunshine Coast.

*

Many ancient artifacts have been curated at the Sunshine Coast Museum but very little information exists around the meaning and function of these items.

*

Please come and join us as archaeologists photograph, catalogue and analyze these implements so that they can be developed into an educational exhibit.

"What were these used for?"

"How old are these?", "What are they made of?"



"Who used these?"



Through a collaboration between the Squamish Nation, the Archaeological Society of B.C. and the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives, we have the rare opportunity for Rudy Reimer and other archaeologists to come to the Museum and work with the stone artifacts in our collection. They will be on hand to answer your questions and explain the process of analysis.
