Greetings HISTARCHers!

The Science Tools in Historical Archaeology was a very successful
session at this year's meeting.  After considering a number of
comments and the discussion of several participants, I have decided to
make this a regular SHA paper session.  Every other year (the odd
ones, of course) a call will go out for the SciTech session and we can
take stock of our sophisticated prowess.  Also after some commentary,
the focus will change every time.  In order to deconstruct any
technological fetish, at the the 2003 meeting we will opt for a
session theme that examines other issues important to the field.  In
other words, you may see a call for papers during 2002 that will be
titled:
"SciTech II: approaching ethnicity and religion with scientific
tools."

Start planning now!

Best regards from the land of eternal hail,
Tim

p.s. I'm never going to survey with William White's crew if they
insist on blowing up old powder!  You guys are crazy!  Knowing my
luck, I'd loose my fingers.
