MAAC (Middle Atlantic Archaeological Conference) is letting us   
piggyback Ironmasters on their conference. The emphasis is on  
colonial iron.

When: March 15th-18th, 2007
Where: Cavalier Hotel, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23451

Skip Williams and Lee Sauder are doing a presentation on how to  
bloom. The CW smiths will bloom at Colonial Williamsburg. I will be  
giving a paper on the colonial iron industry of Virginia. Need more  
people to step up to the plate to make it at least a half day of  
papers. Schedule has the demo on Saturday and papers Sunday.

If there is interest, we can probably arrange a behind the scenes  
tour of the "iron" collection at CW. It may also be possible to visit  
some of the early ironworks (Hunters, Tubal, etc.), either Friday or  
Sunday afternoon on the way home.
