Résumé (en anglais):

For nearly 30 years, the Government of the Northwest Territories administered archaeological research in what is now Nunavut. Coincident with the establishment of Nunavut in 1999, the governments of Canada, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut began work on amendments to regulations governing archaeology in each territorial jurisdiction. This paper presents an overview of the development of an independent regulatory regime for Nunavut (Nunavut Archaeological and Palaeontological Sites Regulations), and discusses the key components of the regulations.
