Colleagues
I would like to announce the National Park Service's annual archeological
prospection workshop. It will be held between May 15th and 19th at the Pea
Ridge National Military Park in northwestern Arkansas. The park
commemorates the March 7th and 8th, 1862, battle between Federal and
Confederate forces in northwestern Arkansas. The battle resulted in a
Federal victory that ultimately kept Missouri in the Union.
Please pass this announce on to other colleagues, students, and other
interested parties. The workshop has been presented for the last 26 years;
however, retirement in drawing near and this may be the lat time I will
coordinate the workshop.
