Mary,
Is my book still eligible for the Deetz award? I know it has a 2007 publication date, but don't remember if it was first submitted in 2006. Do you remember? I thought I would send a request to UTN if it is still eligible.
Lots of offense last night! Hope you haven't had too much difficulty from the waterline break.
Best,
Karen

Dear histarchers,
I'm sending along the announcement for the 2011 SHA Deetz Award again, because
the deadline is approaching on June 1, 2010. Although I passed along the new

Call for Nominations for 2011 Society for Historical Archaeology
James Deetz Award
The Society for Historical Archaeology James Deetz Award Committee is seeking
nominations from members, authors, and publishers for the 2011 award.
The Deetz Award is named for James Deetz (1930-2000), whose books are classics
for professional archaeologists as well as for nonspecialists. Deetz's
accessible and entertaining style of writing gave his books influence beyond the
discipline because they are read by a broad audience of non-specialists. The
Deetz Award is intended to recognize books and monographs that are similarly
well written and accessible to all potential readers.
Books and monographs bearing a date of publication of 2007, 2008, or 2009 will
be eligible for consideration for the award that will be presented at the 2011
Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas.
Submissions must meet the following criteria:
* Historical or post-medieval archaeology must be the major focus of the
work;
* The work must be based upon archaeological evidence rather than strictly
upon historical evidence;
* The work may deal with European, colonial, or indigenous cultural groups in
early modern and modern times but not solely with prehistory;
* The work may be a monograph or an edited volume of essays on the same
theme;
* The work must be well written and accessible and have appeal both to
crossover audiences and to the public (i.e., not aimed specifically at scholarly
or specialist audiences).
Deadline: June 1, 2010
Please send Letter of Nomination and 3 sample copies for distribution to the
Committee, or direct questions, to:
Deetz Book Award
