Medalta Potteries in the Historical Clay District is playing host this month to the 50th annual general meeting of the Archaeological Society of Alberta, marking a half-century of organized archaeology in the province.

Organizers say the AGM and conference will feature presentations, workshops and keynote addresses that reflect on Alberta’s rich archaeological heritage and the evolving technologies shaping the future of archaeology in the province.

From April 25 to 27, archaeologists and enthusiasts will come to Medalta Potteries to celebrate half a century of archaeological exploration, education, and preservation in Alberta, reads an event description.

“It is an exciting year where we are gathering to celebrate the society’s accomplishments and archaeological studies completed over the last half-century,” said president Brian Vivian.

“I look forward to meeting you all in Medicine Hat.”
