| | The Rise of the Archaeological Consulting Industry in Ontario |
 | | Now archaeology, and specifically the conservation of archaeological resources within a development context, is a high profile component of the heritage landscape, loaded with economic, social and political ramifications that impinge on the interests of a much wider sector of society than that of the archaeological community. |
 | | Co-operation between academic archaeologists and the consultant industry, for example, is greatly needed, both in terms of ensuring findings from the consultant's work are available for detailed research, and in terms of educating and training the next generation of Ontario archaeologists about the activity most of them will be involved in. |
 | | Improvements by consultant archaeologists towards professionalising their industry, as well as improvements by the entire archaeological community in the areas of co-operation, communication and co-management, are necessary in order to respond to the changing face of archaeology in Ontario. |
