        Subject:        Archaeology of Jews

        HISTARCHers,

        In my other life, I'm a member of the Adult Education Committee at
        Congregation Shomrei Torah -- a synagogue in Santa Rosa, California.
        Recently, while delirious with the flu, our rabbi asked me to do a
        presentation on *something to do with Jews and archaeology.* Thus
was born
        the idea of  *The Archaeology of Jews in North America and the
Caribbean,*
        a lecture/slide show due to premiere in March.

        Several colleagues have generously offered slides of their research:
Skip
        S-Abernathy in Arkansas, Becky Yamin on Five Points NY, and Michelle
        Terrell on the disappearing synagogue of Nevis. In addition, I have
a site
        in Sacramento that will fit in nicely. However, there's room for a
couple
        more examples in the presentation.

        So, if you know of an archaeological site in North America with:
        -  strong Jewish associations,
        -  an interesting story that will appeal to the general public,
        -  and, above all, GOOD VISUALS,
        please let me know.

        Thanks to all,

        Adrian Praetzellis
