About APA
Working to Promote Professionalism in Ontario Archaeology ~ this is our mandate, as set out upon our inception in 1990. For a little bit of history, check out this letter from our sister organization, the Ontario Archaeological Society, signed by Charles ("Petun Charlie") Garrad in 1990: OAS Letter to Registrations Division, Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations, May 03, 1990.jpgThe Association of Professional Archaeologists seeks to integrate the concerns of archaeologists in Ontario from all avenues of employment including: administration, conservation, curation, consulting, education, research, and teaching and also seeks to ensure that issues and practices affecting archaeological resources are conducted within a commonly recognized set of standards. We encourage all archaeologists (students, professionals, and teachers) to become a member of the APA.
Our Mission
Specifically the objectives of the APA are to:
- encourage professionalism in archaeology
- represent the profession in areas of concern
- mediate solutions to problems involving archaeological resources
- recognize significant accomplishments in archaeology
- encourage cooperation in and beyond the profession of archaeology
