Dear Collegues: I would like to inform you of the National Park Service's 2003 workshop on archeological prospection techniques entitled "Current Archeological Prospection Advances for Non-destructive Investigations in the 21st Century." The workshop will be held May 19-23, 2003, at the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site in Collinsville, Illinois. This will be the thirteenth year of the workshop dedicated to the use of geophysical, aerial photographic, and other remote sensing methods as they apply to the identification, evaluation, conservation, and protection of archeological resources across this Nation. The workshop this year will focus on data processing and interpretation in addition to the more basic topics involving the theory of operation, survey methodology, and hands-on use of the equipment in the field. There is a $475.00 tuition cost to cover instructors' travel and expenses as well as the production costs of the workbook and handouts. The workshop is open to all professional archeologists and students both in this country and across the world. It is also open to professional from other disciplines including forensics, law enforcement, and environmental fields. Anyone with a general interest in archeology and the non-invasive evaluation of archeological resources is also welcome. If you know of others that may be interested in the workshop, please pass this information along to them. For further information and registration forms, contact Steven L.
