In Memorial

Dr. Terry Gibson

Dr. Terry Gibson was the first professional archaeologist to discover and name the Bodo Bison Skulls Archaeological Site. He saw great scientific and cultural potential in the development of the site for students and the public, and set up and directed the first archaeological field school in 2002 with the University of Alberta. Inspired by interest in the site from his students and the local community, Terry, along with local community members, worked to establish the Bodo Archaeological Society in 2003. With his devoted interest in the site and mentoring of his former students who directed work there, many years of archaeological exploration and public engagement have continued. In his last year, Terry conducted geophysical work at the site and lectured summer students on his latest research there. He was a board member of the Bodo Archaeological Society from the beginning, and stayed on until his passing in August 2018. May his hard work and faith in the Bodo Archaeological Site never be forgotten.

Peter Kirchmeir

We were very saddened to hear of the passing of a long-time member and supporter of the Bodo Archaeological Society on March 20, 2023. Peter Kirchmeir was a valuable member of the Bodo Arch family since the beginning. He was a friend, mentor, teacher, and an inspiration to many, and it was so very obvious how much he loved doing archaeology out at Bodo. And, in turn, how much everyone loved having him out there.
