Dear Colleagues,
We're writing to spread the word about the variety of exciting sessions
featuring archaeology at this year's AAA meeting in San
Francisco<http://www.aaanet.org/meetings/index.cfm> (Nov.
14-18).
For those of you in the greater Bay Area, please help us by distributing
the message below--listing this year's archaeologically oriented
sessions--to your colleagues and students. We are especially interested in
spreading the word to Bay Area archaeology students who may not be aware of
this great opportunity in their backyard.
Thanks for your consideration,
Marc and Anna
