>Call for Stories: I am researching the folklore of Southwestern
>archaeologists
>and hope to publish a collection of short, humorous stories from the work.
>I want to record stories that are told in a convivial atmosphere, such
>as at field schools, around the campfires at the Pecos Conference, or while
>relaxing after a hard day of work. The stories could be used to provide
>an object lesson or warning about mistakes people have made while doing
>archaeology, or they just could be funny events. The purpose of the book
>is not to embarrass people mentioned in the stories (though that may happen),
>but rather to demonstrate how much fun archaeology can be despite its serious
>purpose. The book will be divided into sections for events from the
>nineteenth
>century, 1900-1950, and 1951-2000. If you have a story that can be told
>in 500 words or less, please call me at 480.585.9752 or write it down and
>send it to me at <[log in to unmask]> or Mark Hackbarth, 6022 E. Redbird,
>Scottsdale, AZ 85262-8714. The stories should be related to events that
>occurred in the Greater Southwest, or to a Southwestern archaeologist.
>Please include a commentary section of when the events happened and where
>you heard the story. The names of people involved may be disguised, but
>it is important to have the story's provenance.

>James Todd, a University of California-Santa Cruz anthropologist, searches
>to understand why people spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on
>NASCAR. Todd received $30,000 in grants and will travel to all 36 Winston
>Cup races this season in a 15-year-old RV, looking, listening and learning.
>It's for his Ph.D. dissertation, which he says will take about two years
>to write once he finishes his research in January.

>Amelia Earhart's remains are the subject of continuing searches, research
>and debate. She made it as far as New Guinea. On July 2, she took off for
>tiny Howland Island on a 2,556-mile flight that would be one of her longest
>and most dangerous.

>So great were the fires of 1880 that Pyne in America's Fires: Management
>on Wildlands and Forests (1997) called the period "The Great Barbecue."
>Essentially North America was on fire as a result of human ignition sources
>and shifting land practices. The creation of the Forest Service formalized
>a national approach -- "dominion over" the forces of nature. The United
>States moved within less than 100 years from a nation of conflagration
>to a fire-starved nation. Are we ready to return to wisdom held in
>traditional
>hunter and gatherer societies that fire is as natural as water; both can
>be givers and takers of life and property?
