Just wanted to remind people about this conference.  I know a
number of people will be making presentations on historical
cemetery sites.

The Fourth Annual Meeting of the Midwest Bioarcheology &
Forensic Anthropology  Association will convene on the campus
of Loyola University Chicago on the  weekend of October 4, 1997.
The meeting format will consist of informal and  formal papers, as
well as open discussions and posters.  We are soliciting all
creative ideas for the meeting -- with the intent of varying the
ways in which  information is presented and discussed.  There will
be a welcoming reception  dinner on Friday evening the 3rd from
7:00 to 10:00.  Presentations will be  given on Saturday with
breakfast and lunch being served.  Sunday morning we will host a
continental breakfast/business meeting/hands-on opportunity in
the  Anthropology Research and Teaching Labs.  The goal of the
conference is to  provide an informal forum for osteologists,
forensic anthropologists, and  bioarcheologists to present current
research, methodological advances and  specimens of particular
interest.  Students are strongly encouraged to  participate.
 
Deadline for Presentation Abstracts:  August 1, 1997

 The  registration fee includes a welcoming dinner reception on
