Artefactuel

Artefactuel is a Quebec-based worker cooperative specializing in archaeological research and consulting. Founded in 2003, it brings together consultants who support clients through the planning, research, educational, and outreach dimensions of their projects. The cooperative conducts archaeological field interventions, prepares impact studies, and provides specialized research and analysis services. Its work can help organizations and project planners address archaeological considerations when undertaking development or land-use projects.

Artefactuel also offers original educational activities designed to help people learn about Quebec’s archaeological heritage. Through its field research and public-facing initiatives, the cooperative contributes to understanding and sharing the region’s history. Its services reflect the requirements governing archaeology in Quebec, where field activities require a research permit and an intervention report, and archaeological discoveries must be declared to the Ministry of Culture and Communications. Artefactuel aims to provide high-quality services while contributing to the development of archaeology in Quebec. Its consulting, research, analytical, and educational offerings make it a resource for projects involving the province’s archaeological heritage.
