Sites archéologiques
L'archéologie est une science historique qui vise à la découverte et à la compréhension du comportement humain dans le passé au travers de l’étude de vestiges matériels. Les archéologues obtiennent la majorité des renseignements par d’anciens objets laissés sur des sites où vivaient, travaillaient, visitaient ou étaient enterrés des individus autrefois. L’Encyclopédie canadienne comporte de nombreux articles sur les sites archéologiques du pays, ces articles sont organisés par les provinces et territoires dans lesquels ils se trouvent.

Histoire géologique du Canada
Le temps géologique examine l’histoire de la Terre dans une perspective de grande échelle. Une grande partie de ce qu’on connaît de cette histoire est le fruit de l’étude des roches et des fossiles. Les hommes modernes, ou homo sapiens, ne foulent la Terre que depuis environ 315 000 années sur les plus de 4,6 milliards d’années de son histoire. Cela représente moins de 0,01 % de son histoire.
