In situ preservation
 
Proposal for a session at the Society for Historical Archaeology and
Advisory Council for Underwater Archaeology (SHA Quebec 2000),
Quebec City, Canada
January 2000
 
(PLEASE EXCUSE CROSS-POSTINGS, BUT FORWARD IF PERTINENT)
 
Current plans are to develop a symposium on the in situ preservation of
archaeological sites for the 2000 SHA to be held in Quebec City.  This
is a solicitation for papers that will address the in situ preservation
of historic period sites. Papers may address underwater resources, terrestrial
resources, or terrestrial resources that are now submerged for some
reason.  Subject matter may include completed projects, proposed
projects, the use of synthetic materials, as well as purposely placed
materials near submerged sites that are intended to alter the immediate
environment around underwater resources.  Papers will be limited to 15 minutes.
 
Please send a brief tentative subject matter title and a description of
the paper's content, as well as ALL requests for information, to Robert M.
