We often get asked what winter archaeology is, so We often get asked what winter archaeology is, so we thought we'd take a minute to put a spotlight on the topic.💡

Archaeologists are not the only people who work outside in the winter, many industries do, and it’s precisely for this reason that archaeology is done during the winter months. Since many developments need to satisfy Historical Resources Act requirements before they begin, those who are scheduled to start construction in early spring or summer often need to have archaeological fieldwork carried out over the winter. So how do we do archaeology in winter, and how do we deal with all that snow?

Find out by tapping the link in our bio titled "Blog: Winter is Coming". There’s so much more to it!
