Administrative history

The Peace River Archaeology Society was formed in 1989, as a chapter of the Archaeology Society of Alberta. Initial founders were Milt Wright, Rebecca Murray and Morris Burroughs. Its mandate covers the entire Peace Country, and meetings are held in centres throughout. The society follows provincial by-laws, working with the Archaeology Survey of Alberta. Its function is to promote archaeology in the province and it has been involved with projects such as the Trudel Cache dig near Eaglesham, in organizing field trips, and in setting up displays for conventions.
