The Queen's Archaeology Club is a newly ratified, student run club that plans and promotes archaeological activities for students. Our events include, but are not limited to, pottery reconstruction, guest speakers and presentations, social events, and trips to museums and exhibitions (e.g. MAYA - Secrets of the Ancient World at the AGO). The club usually meets on Tuesdays in Ellis Hall room 321.  Everyone is welcome and there is no fee to join.  Find us on Facebook or Twitter, and email us at: quac@ams.queensu.ca

Dr. Friesen is a zooarchaeologist with research interests in Canada's arctic regions, including the Mackenzie River Delta and more recently near Cambridge Bay in Nunavut.
