Archaeology in British Columbia and the Stories It Tells

Archaeology tells the story of the human past in British Columbia from 15,000 years ago to yesterday. The story is told through highlighting several important discoveries, including 13,000-year-old footprints, a cave site occupied for 14,000 years, evidence of sophisticated technology and wealth, an ancient traveller melting out of a glacier, the discovery of a previously unknown early 20^th century Japanese logging camp and village in a local forest, and insight into the impacts of COVID on human behaviour. Also covered is how archaeologists make their interpretations and how archaeology is regulated.
