Hi Folks,

Looking into setting up a thematic session for the Williamsburg 2007 
meetings.  Pretty general at this time, but was thinking about settlement period (ca. 
1830-1860) archaeology in the Midwest (Old Northwest, maybe broader).  ITARP 
has been working a number of these sites this past year, including several 
farmsteads and a small abandoned pre-Civil War community.  Obviously, much 
latitude available this early in the planning process.  Not looking for specific 
titles at this point, but general topics and some level of commitment, if we get 
enough interest.   

Please contact me off-list.  Thanks in advance.
