Dear Colleagues,
 
Please accept the usual apologies for cross posting!
 
There are some great archaeology offerings at the upcoming AAA meetings in Philadelphia -- a list follows.
 
Meeting information can be found here: http://www.aaanet.org/meetings/.  Students should take note of two things.  First, the Archaeology Division is also sponsoring a "Student Membership Award" for up to 20 students who present archaeological papers or posters as the annual meeting.  For information, see http://www.aaanet.org/sections/ad/awards.html#mbr.  The application deadline is October 1.  Second, the AAA is hosting a "Student Saturday" during the meeting, which includes the benefit of only one-day registration costs: http://www.aaanet.org/resources/students/StudentSaturday.cfm.
 
We hope to see you there!
