This is an intensive 6-day (spread over 2-weeks) program offered via synchronous online learning. The program is a “bundle” of eight Kleanza Seeds courses. When “bundled” together, these courses offer learners an opportunity for in-depth skill development related to site type, materials analysis, and recording. This program is designed for learners with foundational knowledge and skills of archeology in BC.

This Provincially-certified course is intended to teach basic site identification, survey, and recording skills. The course is designed for eight participants, preferably with some background in forestry or other fieldwork. Upon successful completion of the course, participants are registered with the province and receive a certificate signed by the Archaeology Branch.

Five days, taught entirely in-person or a combination of in-person and digital delivery. Best suited for 8-12 students.
