Invisible History, A Public Archaeology Program is taking place at the Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site for its second year. Renowned archaeologists, Dr. Peter Francis and Jack Porter, will be leading a hands-on excavation dig for public participants. The dig is being sponsored by the Confluence Heritage Society, a non-profit organization, for several sessions throughout the month of August 2015. The Confluence Heritage Society is requesting that the Archaeology Society of Alberta display our poster and provide information your website to promote the dig to individuals that are passionate about archaeology.
Participants have the chance to actively contribute to the recovery of artifacts during the dig. The artifacts are gathered for archaeological purposes, which will further the knowledge and understanding of Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site.
A full three-day dig is running from August 11 to 13, costing $250.00 per person. Half day sessions are also offered; either 10am-12 or 2pm-4pm. The half day sessions are taking place on August 15 and 16 for the cost of $50.00 per person. Food is provided for the three day session, but accommodation is not included.

The Landing files tool can be used to share files with others, comment on them and build dialogue around them.
Some files are treated specially: on the whole, pictures will be displayed as pictures (jpg, gif and png formats), audio will be played as audio (mp3 and a few other formats) and video will be shown as video (various formats). It is thus a way to build picture galleries, podcasts and vodcasts.
You can upload multiple files and even upload zip files, that will be extracted on this site into their individual components.
We welcome comments on public posts from members of the public. Please note, however, that all comments made on public posts must be moderated by their owners before they become visible on the site. The owner of the post (and no one else) has to do that.
