Major aims of the society include: *To bring together individuals interested in the practice, promotion and advancement of archaeology, particularly in the province of Ontario. *To encourage and assist every effort, both individual and collective, which tends to foster, elevate and advance archaeology in the fields of learning and culture. *To discourage illegal archaeological investigation and excavation. *To facilitate the exchange of ideas and information, and to encourage co-operation among all those interested in the study of archaeology. *To publish archaeological literature and site reports. *To stimulate the interest of the general public in archaeology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ontario Archaeological Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
