Archaeological Sites Online Database
This project will provide information on archaeological sites and research in the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Prince Edward Island through two different levels of access.
A restricted-access level will provide Canadian Museum of Civilization (CMC) clients with site-specific information such as location, cultural attributes, previous research results, and bibliographies. CMC clients include territorial agencies responsible for managing land-based heritage resources and preserving the culture and heritage of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in Canada's Arctic.
A public-access level will provide general information on archaeological sites registered with the CMC Sites Office. This information will be linked to archaeological cultures and to the distribution of archaeological sites in the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Prince Edward Island.
This project will make it easier for the CMC to share data about archaeological sites with their clients and the general public. This data will be used to improve land-use decisions, increase the access to information on archaeological research, and encourage further information sharing. The data sets are expected to be used by Aboriginal communities, land managers, cultural resource managers, archaeologists, students, and the public.
