The following announcment was put together by Meta Janowitz and Ed Morrin.


Richard M. Affleck passed away on September 10 after a long illness.  Rick
was a dedicated professional who loved his work. After serving in the Air
Force, he graduated from Cook College of Rutgers University with a
bachelor’s degree in anthropology and earned a master’s degree in
archaeology from the University of South Carolina. He worked at Louis Berger
& Associates after graduation and had been at URS Corporation in Burlington
N.J. since 1998.

One of Rick’s best talents was his ability to “translate” the confusing and
at times undecipherable jargon and descriptions used by archaeologists into
language that the general public could understand. The finest example was
his public outreach report on the archaeological investigations of the King
of Prussia Inn. Rick also took special interest in mentoring the next
generation of archaeologists, as well as sharing his archaeological
knowledge with his colleagues. His great sense of humor and infectious laugh
will be missed by all.
