There's also a little group known as the Society for American Archaeology, or SAA (www.saa.org) --- I think there were only 4000 archaeologists at the last meeting I attended

Julia:
         A new, potential SHA member!  Go recruit her.

         Cassie: The SHA is the greatest and most wonderful archaeological
organization in
the universe (of course along with the SPMA, the SAHA, and CNEHA). Look at
the Society
for Historical Archaeology home page and if you are interested join and
come and join with all
of us next January in St Louis, Missouri (Lewis and Clark 1804 = 2004) for
the annual conference.
