Archaeology

The Royal Saskatchewan Museum has the provincial mandate for collection, preservation, research, and public interpretation of Saskatchewan's archaeological heritage. The Royal Saskatchewan Museum is the primary repository for archaeological materials emanating from Saskatchewan.

The Royal Saskatchewan Museum maintains archaeological material for the purposes of preserving the material in perpetuity, for the non-Indigenous and Indigenous people of Saskatchewan, and for provisional access to researchers from the global archaeological community. Recognizing that archaeological material from Indigenous sites represents the tangible culture-history of Indigenous people, the RSM will work cooperatively with Indigenous communities in the spirit of shared stewardship in caring for collections that relate to their culture-history.

The Royal Saskatchewan Museum and T.rex Discovery Centre are situated on Treaty 4 territory, the ancestral and traditional territory of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation. We respect and honour the Treaties that were made on all territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we are committed to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous Nations in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
