Hi Mike,
I am looking through the 175 report and the provenience table you sent me. I am curious about one thing. Under the faunal column for counts there are several entries that say NA. What does that there? Are those contexts that were not analyzed or is the data missing from the collection?
Just a heads up that Meta Janowitz may be tagging along with me on the 12th. I invited her to spend the weekend with at Piseco Lake. Hope that's ok.

Subject: Collections Session
Jordon Loucks and I are trying to get enough papers for a general session on collections based research. We still need a few papers to round out the session, so if anyone is interested send us an abstract ASAP.
Best

Boxed but not Forgotten Redux or: How I Learned to Stop Digging and Love Old Collections
Organizers/Chairs: Jordon Loucks (SEARCH) and Michael Lucas (New York State Museum)
What value are old collections that sit in a repository collecting dust and rust? If we are retaining objects simply for the sake of doing so, then their potential for providing new insights is zero. The field mantra of "keep everything" is at times the bane of any curation facility that has a mandate to care for its collections in perpetuity. Yet, researchers are finding new ways to re-examine and scrutinize long forgotten collections that continue to provide new insights about the past. This session sponsored by the SHA's Committee on Collections and Curation, explores the continuing expansion of collections-based research in historical archaeology.
