Someone hit the wrong button on this message. However, I hope George or
someone will do a bio-essay on Arnold Pilling
for this volume as he was so important in American historical archaeology.

Also, would any of you involved in this volume have a photo of Arnold
Pilling doing some of his early urban historical
archaeology in Detroit?  We could use such a view for "Images of the Past"
in the SHA NEWSLETTER.
