Led by IPIA director/professor Dr. Kisha Supernant, students at the Historic River Lots 23 + 24, 4 Meadowview Drive, are exploring archaeological work that includes excavations, drone surveys and ground-penetrating radar. The field school will operate until June 23. As standard IPIA field school practice, the ground will be returned to its original state as much as possible after completion. Any unearthed historical artifacts will be sent to the Royal Alberta Museum per provincial regulations.
The Arts and Heritage Foundation of St. Albert is inviting teachers to book special archaeological-themed field trips to the site for their students on June 7 and June 14. Students will be able to observe the field school dig at that time.
The public is also welcome to observe at no charge during the site’s operating hours, Wednesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those interested can also register for a one-hour seminar, on June 15 and June 21, at the site to hear from Supernant and the field school students about the Métis archaeological footprint and what has been unearthed at the site.
