Great idea. Count me in and let me know how I can help. In fact, I would
prefer putting my energy and treasure into a good regional meeting.

Yes, a Southeastern conference is a good idea. we have followed the
Jamestown Conference example here in the Delaware Valley. I would suggest
being inclusive and ask the architectural historians and historians to
present papers too, if they are focused on material culture.

I think this is a great idea...! Smaller regional conferences (such as the
annual one-day Jamestown Conference) allow for more synthetic discussions
for those working in a given geographic area. I would hope "papers" could
be a least 30 minutes in length with time for questions and discussion. If
the individual papers could be videoed and subsequently placed on
youtube....it would provided access for those that can not attend.

Subject: Southeastern Conference on Historic Sites Archaeology?
Folks,
This post is to gauge interest in starting a conference that focuses on the
historical archaeology in the Southeastern United States. I believe there is
certainly enough work in the region to support such an endeavor. Several
folks (myself, Jodi Barnes, David Jones, and Carl Steen) have been
discussing preliminary ideas for a small conference this first year in honor
of Stanley South. We were able to reserve the meeting facility at Charles
Town Landing State Park in Charleston, SC. It is a wonderful facility in one
of the greatest cities on the planet and the perfect spot for a historical
archaeology conference. The facility will hold 250 people. Therefore, we
would have to limit attendance to that maximum. Our preliminary plans are to
hold the conference August 24th and 25th and perhaps plan a tour or two for
Sunday the 26th. Before we actually go full steam ahead with this plan, we
wanted to make sure there was enough interest to support the effort. We are
thinking that we will put aside some time during that weekend for all of us
to brainstorm the future of this conference.
Please let me know if you would be interested in such a conference. If we
get enough affirmative responses, we will proceed with our plans. In the
meanwhile if you are interested in helping to organize the conference and
supporting organization please feel free to contact us. Thanks,
Natalie Adams Pope, RPA
