Archaeology

Step 1: Determining if further Archaeological Study is necessary

The Archaeology Branch has reviewed provincial records to determine your development may affect a protected archaeological site and required you to hire a professional consulting archaeologist. However, a professional consulting archaeologist may re-examine the records and any addition information, perhaps including a field visit, and conclude that development will not impact a site and further study is not needed. The archaeologist may send a letter stating his professional opinion to the Archaeology Branch for further consideration.

If further archaeological study is warranted, you will be required to complete an archaeological impact assessment before starting land altering activities.
