2021 has been a year filled with amazing projects, all documented by the talented photographers we have on staff! This is our sixth year running this contest to give our amazing employees their due.
The photos are organized into four categories: Above Ground Heritage, Fieldwork, Artifacts, and Nature. Make sure you scroll down right to the bottom to see all the photos in all the categories, and vote for your favourite in each one!
We’re running the contest anonymously this year until voting ends on Monday, November 29th. Once the winner is announced, all photos will be credited with the photographer’s name. We hope you enjoy this insight into the world of archaeologists and cultural heritage workers!
