Date: Saturday, December 30, 1995 2:26PM
The Southwestern Archaeology (SWA) Internet site resides at
<http://seamonkey.ed.asu.edu/swa/>. The Southwestern Archaeology Special
Interest Group (SASIG), a bulletin board, serves current events data at
<http://aspin.asu.edu/provider/swa/sasig.html> .
SWA and the SASIG provide an open forum for the dissemination of
anthropological, archaeological and historical knowledge related to the
American Southwest. Here are the goals of SWA and the SASIG for 1996:
0 Encourage electronic communication and the timely exchange of
information among
professional and avocational Southwestern archaeologists and the
public
0 Provide a free forum for the publication of organizational
newsletters, appropriate research
data, symposia proceedings, current events activities, and cultural
resource management
administrivia
0 Allow greater public access to Southwestern anthropological,
archaeological and historical
information in order to: broaden intellectual development and
scientific reasoning; encourage
social interaction; foster cultural understanding; and, promote
appropriate hands-on activities
with high entertainment value
0 Promote anthropological thinking and the use of archaeological and
historical methodologies
to critically examine current environmental, social and cultural
issues and encourage their just
and appropriate resolution
0 Foil archaeological vandalism and illegal antiquities trading by
cooperative law
enforcement action, and through direct legislative, judicial and
historic preservation activism
