Saskatchewan Archaeological Society

The Saskatchewan Archaeological Society (S.A.S.) is one of the most active and effective voluntary archaeological organizations on the continent, promoting public education and research and advocating for conservation. Members include both avocational and professional archaeologists. One of the primary purposes of the S.A.S. is education. To this end, we help teachers educate young people about archaeology and the rich heritage left to us by our province’s first peoples and other cultures. The S.A.S. has had a significant impact in advocating for government responsibility for archaeological heritage resources. The S.A.S. serves as the public voice for Saskatchewan archaeology and as a “watchdog” concerning public policy on archaeology. The S.A.S. also encourages and supports research and serves as a consulting agency and clearinghouse on archaeological matters.
