A reminder to HISTARCH subscribers that members of the Society for
Historical Archaeology (SHA) and the Society for American Archaeology
(SAA) last year voted to sponsor the newly established Register of
Professional Archaeologists, an organization dedicated to furthering
high standards of ethics and professional conduct in archaeology. The
usual $35 application fee is being waived through March 31, 1999, so
you have only a few more months to take advantage of this bargain.
Those applicants who are accepted as Registered Professional
Archaeologists, and who are also current members of either sponsoring
organization, will pay only $45/year in registration fees.
You may download an application from the SHA Website <www.sha.org> or
contact me directly for more information <[log in to unmask]>. The
SHA officially endorses the Register and strongly encourages its
qualified members to apply. Please do consider joining us in support
of the profession.
