*NEW: 2012 Season Updates*

  Bodo Archaeological Society

The Bodo Archaeological Society (BAS) was incorporated as a non-profit society in December 2003 to promote the continuation of field research and develop public archaeology programming including guided tours to, and interpretation of the Bodo Archaeological Sites. The Society supports the development of new tourism product and its spin-offs as viable, local economic growth. Long dependent on the cyclical nature of the agriculture and energy industries, the Bodo Archaeological Society challenges others to support the tremendous potential of these archaeological treasures discovered in our own backyard at Bodo, Alberta.

Annual membership: $10.00
Lifetime membership: $250.00

The BAS newsletteris published bi-annually to inform and update members about on-site activities, progress and speakers.

The Society operates a Concession, Gift & Souvenir Shop at the Bodo Archaeological Centre during the summer months. Come see our on-site displays and exhibits depicting the story as it unfolds at the excavation sites.

Guided tours are available at Bodo Archaeological Centre through the displays, exhibits, lab and lecture rooms. Observation tours to the actual excavation site(s) are available during the months of May through August. Public excavation participation at the dig sites can be pre-arranged.

We ask that all visitors recognize the archaeological sites are fragile and non-renewable resources. They are a legacy of the past that provides enrichment for all. The conservation and protection of the sites is everyone’s responsibility!

“Too often we dig up mere things, unrepentantly forgetful that our proper aim is to dig … the lives of … the people.” ~ Sir Mortimer Wheeler. 1954
