I really learned how important electrolytes were when I worked in Ontario & wow I'll never stop telling people to bring them to fieldwork!! I'd like to add, bring a small towel. It's so handy! #archaeology #CanArch

A teal background with text reading: 'pack your extra socks or sandles', over graphics of pink socks and yellow crocs

4. Overlooked, but bringing extra socks can really save your feet on long hiking or field walking days! And adding a light pair of sandles for the drive home is always a treat. #CanArch 🏺

A teal background with text reads "don't forget Sunscreen and a hat!', over little images of sun glasses, a sun hat, and SPF'

3. Sunscreen & a Hat! Working outside in the sun in exhausting, & keeping your skin safe from burns & potential skin cancers is vital to your health! #CanArch 🏺

A teal background with text reads: Always bring electrolytes, with a little graphic of a pink water bottle saying 'stay hydrated'.

2. Electrolytes are vital if you are working in hot climates. Grab some Mio sport, Gu or Nuun tablets, & keep them in your bag for when temperatures rise. They will help you stay hydrated! #CanArch 🏺

Teal background with text reading "Always bring a water bottle." With two graphics of water bottles in blue and orange

1. Always bring plenty of water! You don't want to risk running out, but if you are getting low, let your field supervisors know. #CanArch

A teal background with a darker teal swirl, and a purple starburt in the left top corner reads "The CAA/ACA presents: Tips for the 2025 field season!". Below the rext are little graphics of a water bottle, sunscreen, a sun hat, and a trowel.

🌞Happy Friday everyone!🌞
We thought we'd collect a few tips for the field season, to get everyone outside safely!
Have any other tips to share with young archaeologists? Pop them in the comments and lets start a discussion! 🧵
