Bodo Archaeological Site and Centre

The Bodo Archaeological Site is one of the largest and most well-preserved archaeological areas in Western Canada. Located in East Central Alberta, the site is a large and rich complex of archaeological resources that date back as early as 5000 years ago. The site also includes evidence for the continued use over the last 500 years of a “bison pound” where hundreds of bison were corralled and killed at one time. At Bodo, you have the unique opportunity to take part in the ongoing archaeological excavation at this important locale and to contribute to the discovery of Alberta’s exciting past. The Bodo Archaeological Site and Centre has many amazing hands-on activities and experiences you, your family, or your school can take part in at Bodo! Visitors can enjoy archaeology and Alberta’s history during daily guided tours of the archaeological site and centre. Annual summer programs include Adult Dig-It Camps, Kids Day Camps, and Curriculum-Based School Tours.
