Hi Folks,
First, this is a reminder that the Midwest Archaeological Conference
will be held this year in beautiful downtown Champaign-Urbana,
Illinois on the 12-15 October 2006. Please check out the website for
more details.
http://www.midwestarchaeology.org/
Second, as a member of one of the sponsoring agencies, I am hoping
that Historical Archaeology will be well represented at this meeting.
Therefore, I am sending out an informal advance invitation to
HISTARCH members to take advantage of this opportunity. I do not
believe that a formal call for papers has been issued yet by the
organizing committee, but the website should eventually provide
appropriate links.
Finally, several months ago I sent out a prospectus to see if there
was any interest in an SHA session regarding 19th century
rural/agricultural/small town settlement in the Midwest and adjacent
areas. It was a pretty open topic and remains so ... Since we are
now closer to submission deadlines, I would be very interested in
hearing from any of you that might want to put your paper into at
least a moderately thematic/regional session. Very open to
suggestions, topics, etc. Would also like to hear back from folks
who contacted me initially.
Please contact me directly at "[log in to unmask]". Thanks in advance.

without either virtue or talents ... The artificial aristocracy is a
mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to
prevent its ascendancy."
- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
