===============================

In the context of the shocking events of September 11, we asked
Dr. William L. Rathje to share some of his thoughts in an Audio
Commentary for webcasting on The Archaeology Channel, our
public-education streaming-media website
(www.archaeologychannel.org).  Dr. Rathje, who has long worked to
employ archaeology in addressing the problems of our time,
generously agreed to do this.  His contribution is now available
for you to hear on TAC.

In his Audio Commentary, titled Archaeology and the WTC Atrocity,
Dr. Rathje expresses his feelings on the subject, discusses how
archaeologists have responded and can respond, and suggests a
practical and effective way to memorialize the event and the
human lives that were lost. This has been and remains a difficult
time for Americans and people around the globe who respect human
life and desire a peaceful future. Like many of you, we at ALI
wish we had more power to affect the course of events.  We hope
that bringing Dr. Rathje's comments to the world on TAC will help
in some way to bring about the kinds of outcomes we all wish to
see.

We invite you to sample this and other programs on TAC.  If you
feel that this project is a worthy endeavor, please participate
in the Membership and Underwriting programs described on our
website at www.archaeologychannel.org. Your help will allow us to
continue and enhance this nonprofit public-education service.  We
also welcome new content partners us as we reach out to the world
community.

Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
