The Campfire Approach

We live, play, and work in a lived-in, anthropogenic landscape. People have lived on, used, and managed the abundant resources of the lands around them since time immemorial. Archaeological materials and deposits are the tangible physical evidence of this diverse and complex past.

Through collaboration, education, and consistently looking for ways to improve, we work to decolonize the fields of Cultural Heritage Management and Archaeological Consulting.

What we do

  • Training and Archaeological Education

    We offer training and capacity-building programs to strengthen archaeological and heritage management in BC.

  • Archaeological Overview Assessment

    AOAs use research techniques to identify archaeological potential in a project or study area.

  • Archaeological Impact Assessment

    An AIA systematically inventories archaeological sites in a study area to assess their presence and significance.

  • Archaeological Site Alterations

    Site alterations assess impacts on archaeological sites and provide recommendations for management and mitigation.

  • Preliminary Field Reconnaissance

    PFRs verify AOA results through field surveys to identify archaeological findings or potential sites for further study.
