I would like to announce the National Park Service's annual archeological
prospection workshop.  It will be held between May 21st and 25th at the
Marksville State Historic Site inAvoyelies Parish, Louisiana.  The park
contains numerous earthworks related to the Marksville culture, which was a
local variation of the Hopewell Tradition.

Please pass this announce on to other colleagues, students, and other
interested parties.  The workshop has been presented for the last 27 years;
however, retirement in drawing near and this will be the last time I will
coordinate the workshop as a National Park Service archeologist.
