Learn about the practice of archaeology in southern Ontario. Join us for an archaeological adventure doing hands-on fieldwork at the Koffler Scientific Reserve near King City. Participate in actual fieldwork including mapping, surveying and excavating a historic farmstead as well as looking for aboriginal sites. The Koffler Scientific Reserve offers a pristine landscape to examine how human occupations have altered the environment of southern Ontario. It contains 16 farmsteads ranging from totally undeveloped lots to those farmed over a period of time. In addition, we might discover and investigate First Nations sites on this environmentally sensitive, protected region of the beautiful Oak Ridges Moraine.
