Dear HISTARCH,

This is an open invitation to present at the 2008 Society for Historical 
Archaeology Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Our session, “Recent 
Research in Archaeobiology and Historical Ecology,” is calling for current 
studies that address significant cultural and historical questions using the 
perspectives and approaches of environmental archaeology.

Papers may range temporally from the earliest colonial outposts to 
19th-century sites, and topically from issues of cultural contact and 
colonialism, to frontier settlement and landscape change, to urban 
historical ecology.  The goal is to have papers that use an integrative 
approach, which bridges both the natural and cultural realms and moves past 
methodological concerns to meaningful interpretations.

For more information, or to submit a topic or abstract for consideration, 
please e-mail either Eric Proebsting or Jennifer Malpiedi at the addresses 
provided below.  We look forward to hearing from you soon.
