Dear Bay Area Hist Arch'ers,

Apologies for this regionally-specific posting to those of you outside the
area.

This Sunday, Oct 16, students, staff, and faculty from the Stanford
Archaeology Center will be participating in a public archaeology event at
History Park in San Jose, California. The event will focus on the
archaeology of San Jose's first Chinese community, the Market Street
Chinatown, and will include "mock" excavations, screening stations, artifact
identification stations, and artifact reconstruction stations. 

The public archaeology program will be one element of a day-long celebration
(11am - 4pm), organized by Chinese Historical and Cultural Project,
commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Chinese American Historical
Museum. Alongside the public archaeology stations, there will be dance
troupes, martial arts performances, singers, book signings, and other
activities for all ages. The event is open to the public and admission and
parking are free of charge. Please distribute this invitation with anyone
else who may be interested.
