UCalgary students excavate Edworthy Park, finding historical artifacts

University of Calgary students are excavating Edworthy Park, uncovering potential evidence of a ceremonial or homestead site from the city's past. They are working in partnership with the city. The archaeological dig, focused on a stone circle, has already yielded a bison bone and stone tools, offering insights into the area's history. The site's age is unknown, but similar sites in Calgary date back thousands of years. This project, part of a multi-year partnership, aims to reveal the cultural landscape of the area, which was used by Indigenous peoples and later developed for farming and other purposes. The dig continues into early June.
