I think that having a Southeastern Conference on Historic Sites Archaeology is a great way to honor Stanley South--who began a lot of this stuff with the Council on Historic Sites Archaeology.  It would also help build interest in historical archaeology and provide a venue for folks who can't afford to make the long trek to an expensive national conference. In the Northeast CNEHA fulfills all these roles and is a wonderful organization.   Moreover, the conference would provide a great excuse for folks who aren't based in the Southeast to visit Charleston.  It sounds like a win-win to me.
