Heritage sites and objects on private and Provincial Crown Land in British Columbia are protected under the Heritage Conservation Act. Specifically protected are provincial heritage sites, burial places with historical or archaeological value, aboriginal rock paintings or carvings, sites with evidence of human habitation or use before 1846 and heritage wrecks.  Archaeological and historical sites are places which indicate past human occupation or use. Archaeological sites are those which can be investigated primarily by archaeological methods such as excavation whereas historical sites can be studied not only by archaeological methods but also through the analysis of written records.
