Seminars

The Archaeology seminar series is one of the oldest traditions in the Archaeology department and indeed, one of the oldest in the whole archaeology community of BC!

Join us once a week during the Fall and Spring terms for in-person presentations and discussions with a diversity of experts covering the broad range of topics that fall under the archaeology umbrella.
