> > ARCHAEOLOGICAL ILLUSTRATION
> > Presenter: Jack Scott
> > Time: 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
> > Fee: $85, $55 for student members of SHA
> > Want your pen and ink drawings to look like the good ones, and not like
> they were done by a volunteer with an old felt tip pen or the latest
computer
> > program? Attend the archaeological illustration workshop and invest a
day
> > learning some old fashioned pen and ink technique. Jack Scott is a well
> > known archaeological illustrator living in Chicago, with a distinguished
> > client list and illustrations in many publications. Besides a degree in
> > anthropology and fieldwork / lab experience, he brings over 25 years
> > experience in the commercial art business to his 'nuts and bolts'
approach
> > to learning illustration. Workshop participants will learn about
> materials and techniques, page design and layout, maps, lettering,
scientific
> > illustration conventions, problems posed by different kinds of
artifacts,
> > working size, architectural rendering, reproduction, ethics and dealing
> with publishers. Since most archaeological illustration is done in black
and
> > white, pen and ink technique will be the major focus of the workshop. A
> > reading list and pen and paper will be provided, but feel free to bring
> your own pens, other tools and questions.
GIS FOR ARCHAEOLOGISTS
> > Presenter: Bob Booth, ESRI
> > Time: 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
> > Fee: $85, $55 for student members of SHA
> > This workshop offers an introduction to GIS for archaeologists,
combining
> > lecture, hands-on exercises with ArcView 8.2 and extensions, and
take-home
> > handouts. Topics include creating point features from tabular data
> > (including GPS output), joining tabular data to features, querying data
in
> a GIS, and interpolating density surfaces. GIS techniques applicable to
> inter- and intra-site analysis, data management, visualization, and
surface
> > modeling will be demonstrated and discussed. The workshop will be led
by
> > Bob Booth of ESRI, producer of ArcView and a sponsor of this workshop.
Bob
> > Booth is the ESRI Archaeology User Interest Group Coordinator, and a
> > software documentation writer. He brings a BA in Anthropology and
> > archaeological experience in university research projects, cultural
> resource management, and museum collections and data management to his GIS
focus.

> > HALF-DAY WORKSHOPS:
> >
> > COAL AND SLAG CHARACTERIZATIONS FOR ARCHAEOLOGISTS
> > Presenter: Rod Hatt
> > Time: 8:00 a.m. - 12 noon
> > Fee: $70, $45 for student members of SHA
> > This workshop will cover basic and advanced characterization techniques
> used on coal and slag artifacts recovered in archeological contexts. Rod
Hatt
> is an industrial specialist working in the coal and power industries, with
> over 22 years experience working with coal quality and slag analyses. In
this
> > workshop he will share his experience and the analytical tools he uses
to
> > both characterize and identify coal types, and the slags produced from
> > combustion. The workshop will be divided into two main areas, coal
> > characterization and sourcing, and slag types and formation. The coal
> > section will focus on coal types, with viewing of samples; coal testing
> and analysis and basic parameters, including coal sourcing and coal
> petrography; uses of coal by people and industry; and historical coal
production
> trends. The slag section will cover basic slag formation and types of
slag;
> chemical analyses of slags; microscopic characterization; and estimation
of fuel
> > sources and combustion processes. The workshop will use a group
> discussion and participants are encouraged to bring questions, comments,
and coal
> and slag samples.

> > NATIONAL REGISTER/NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS WORKSHOP
> > Presenters: Erika Martin Seibert, National Register of Historic Places
> and John Sprinkle, National Historic Landmarks Survey.
> > Time: 8:15 a.m. - 12 noon
> > Fee: $70, $45 for student members of SHA
> > The workshop will familiarize archeologists with the procedures for
> > documenting information relevant to the National Register of Historic
> Places and National Historic Landmarks Program. Among such documents are
National
> > Register and National Historic Landmark site and district nominations,
> > historic contexts, multiple property designation forms and theme
studies.
> > Participants will discuss the application of criteria when evaluating
> > archaeological sites and will consider the advantages of listing
> properties in the National Register, and/or designating properties as
National
> Historic Landmarks. The time frame should allow for a question and answer
period
> > and/or discussion of tough topics or CRM-related topics such as
> application of Criteria other than D, traditional cultural properties,
examining
> > archeological sites from the recent past, the significance of redundant
> > resources, and using the National Register and National Historic
Landmarks
> > Program as a preservation tool.

> > SHARING THE PAST WITH THE PUBLIC: CRAFTING ARCHAEOLOGY EDUCATION
PROGRAMS
> > FOR MANY AUDIENCES*
> > Presenters: Linda Derry, Alabama Historical Commission and KC Smith,
> Museum
> > of Florida History
> > Time: 1:15 - 5:45 p.m.
> > Fee: $70, $45 for student members of SHA
> > *Workshop co-sponsored by the Advisory Council on Underwater Archaeology
> > Modern archaeologists increasingly understand the importance and value
of
> > interpreting their research to the public, especially on-site visitors.
> > However, archaeologists seldom graduate with practical training in this
> > area. When they stumble in their efforts, it's often because they were
> > trying to reinvent the wheel. This half-day workshop will introduce some
> > powerful basic concepts, theories, and practices from the fields of
> > interpretation and education. Participants will learn to apply these
> > borrowed tools to archaeological situations through "hands-on" examples.
> > Particular attention will be paid to matching technique to audience
type.
> > Participants will return home with resource lists, new insights,
> guidelines, networking possibilities, and loads of inspiration. The
workshop will be
> > presented by Linda Derry, Alabama Historical Commission, and KC Smith,
> > Museum of Florida History, who bring extensive but diverse experiences
in
> > educational and interpretive planning and programming.

> > CELEBRATING THE CENTENNIAL OF THE OWENS AUTOMATIC BOTTLE-BLOWING
MACHINE:
> A
> > WORKSHOP ON MACHINE-MADE BOTTLES
> > Presenter: George L. Miller, URS Corporation
> > Time: 1:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
> > Fee: $70, $45 for student members of SHA
> > The Owens Automatic Bottle-Blowing Machine was invented in 1903 and, by
> > 1917, half of the bottles produced in America were made on the Owens
> > Machine. Owens-made bottles have a distinct suction scar that enables
> > identification of these bottles. Because of the way the Owens machine
was
> > licensed, different types of bottles came into production at different
> > dates. The use of the machine brought about a revolution in closures,
> > bottle shapes, and standardization of types of bottles produced. This
> works hop will use slides and bottles to show the changes that took place
and
> the impact on machine-made bottle production. Those attending are
encouraged
> to bring bottles for identification and to add to the discussion.
