摘要:Though archaeological sites dating to the 20thcentury in Ontario are eligible for protection under the recentlyupdated Standards and Guidelines for Consulting Archaeologists, many archaeologists do not consider them tovaluable heritage resources. In academic archaeology in other parts of Canada, however, 20th-century siteshave proven to be useful in archaeological research in several ways. This paper will discuss how 20th-centuryarchaeological sites are investigated in Ontario, and then compare case studies from academic archaeology inthe Yukon, British Columbia, and Newfoundland and Labrador where recent archaeological sites were foundto be valuable to both archaeological research and to modern descendant communities. These case studiessuggest that the attitudes and practices of consultant archaeologists may not be reflective of the potential valueof 20th-century archaeological sites in Ontario
