Folks;
You are all invited to join us for the fourth annual Midwest Historical 
Archaeology Conference, which will be held October 4th, 2008 in 
Indianapolis at Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis 
(IUPUI).  The MHAC is an informal regional meeting of historical 
archaeologists with some Midwest connections, including a variety of 
archaeologists who happen to be somewhere in the region as well as 
people who have actively conducted historical archaeology projects in 
the Midwest for years.  This year we will discuss historical 
archaeologies of diversity, ranging from rural farmstead archaeologies 
to French colonial archaeology to 20th-century African-American 
research.  The meeting is organized as moderated panel discussions 
rather than formal paper presentations, and information on the 
panelists is on the conference web page at  
http://www.iupui.edu/~anthpm/mhac2008.html The page includes 
information on local accommodations as well as directions to 
Indianapolis.  For those interested in some background on the MHAC, see 
Mike Nassaney’s paper in the Summer 2008 issue of the SHA Newsletter at 
http://www.sha.org/news/documents/2008Spring.pdf
Attendance at the conference is free, and we ask only that you drop us 
an email so we can prepare name badges for attendees.  If you have any 
questions, feel free to email me at [log in to unmask] or conference 
co-coordinator Chris Glidden at [log in to unmask]

Thanks, Paul
