Experience archaeology in action. Visit the Bodo Archaeological Site and Centre and take part in one of the unique programs designed for people of all ages.

The Bodo Archaeological Locality, situated in an area of stabilized sand dunes, consists of numerous bison kill/processing/habitation sites, which record the story of communal bison hunting over the last 1,000 years. More recent studies suggest even older occupations in the area, with dates ranging up to 5,000 years ago.

The Bodo Archaeological Locality is one of the largest and well-preserved archaeological sites in Alberta. Come experience it for yourself.
