If you’re based in the Toronto, Ontario area and you’re planning a construction or development project of some kind, you need to take a step back and consider the archaeological implications of what you’re planning. The Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture has a number of strict regulations and guidelines relating to developments’ impacts on the archaeological materials and remains that might be hiding in the ground throughout the province. As you might already be aware, archaeological assessment consultants regularly uncover culturally or historically significant materials that cannot be disturbed or destroyed – no matter the importance of the development. To make sure that you’re getting a thorough understanding of your property – and to ensure that you’re not breaking any regulations that carry severe penalties – it’s a good idea to hire a reputable and reliable archaeological research company that has extensive experience with archaeological impact assessment. That’s where we come in.

With everything from trial trenching and excavation service to archaeological impact assessment and geophysical surveys covered, we’re positive that we can manage any service request that you have for our team.
The first stage of the archaeological impact assessment process is a thorough background study of the property’s topography and condition, as well as any historical discoveries found in the vicinity of the property. Stage 1 can also involve a voluntary property inspection in specific circumstances, which is why many people choose to press ahead with a Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessment.
Once we reach the Stage 2 archaeological assessment phase, we’ll be carrying out a fully-realised physical inspection of the property. This will largely involve ploughing all available and accessible land on the property, and where that isn’t possible, we’ll use test pit surveying as a suitable alternative. There are some exceptions for land that needs to be surveyed, though these are generally quite limited.
Arriving at the Stage 3 archaeological assessment phase, we’ll finally get into the nitty gritty of what’s going on at your property. This stage involves delving into the archaeological materials and remains that are present at the property – as indicated by our findings in Stage 1 and Stage 2.
Once Stage 3 has uncovered everything archaeologically significant at your property, we’ll then use our archaeological knowledge and experience to make recommendations on the prospect of a development at the site. Our archaeological resource consultants can compile a detailed report the property to make sure that the Ministry of Tourism and Culture can make a fully-informed decision on the future of the property.
