Friends and colleagues: The latest installment of the Video News from TAC features the following stories:
 
* ALI Executive Director Rick Pettigrew visited Rovereto, Italy, in October 2013 to serve on the jury for the annual International Review of Archaeological Cinema.  
 
* Divers and snorkelers can tour six shipwrecks on the Maritime Heritage Trail in Biscayne National Park.  The British steamer Lugano ran aground in a storm in 1913.  
 
* In the Spanish town of Tauste, excavators uncovered a large Moorish cemetery dating from the 8th to the 11th Century.  Now we know that early Tauste was much larger and more complex than formerly thought.
 
You can see these stories in the May 2014 edition of this monthly half-hour show, available now on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org) as well as on cable TV in cities across the US.

Hi Rick,
Work is ramping up and long days in the field are   coming. I may not receive emails or calls until late evening for the next few   months.
