Please forgive duplications to other lists. First Call for Papers: SYMPOSIUM ON HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF MINING-RELATED SITES Where: 23rd Annual Meeting of the Alaska Anthropological Association, Princess Hotel, Fairbanks, Alaska When: April 4-6, 1996 The meetings are being jointly hosted by the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the Alaska Native Language Center (UAF), Alaska Native Studies (UAF), and the University of Alaska Museum. Symposium: Historical Archaeology of Mining-Related Sites Co-organizers: Robin O. Mills, Peter M. Bowers The symposium will of necessity focus upon those mining localities in the arctic and sub-arctic, but NOT limited solely to North America. HOWEVER, papers focusing upon theoretical and methodological issues related to the archaeological analysis of mining sites will be gladly accepted regardless of geographic locale. Papers should have a clearly specified research-oriented perspective, and are welcome at any research stage (from initial project description and orientation, through final synthesis). The range of topics already solicited include international demographic shifts related to mining enterprises, the analysis of natural and cultural site formation processes from historic sites, temporal shifts in subsistence and ecology related to the introduction of mining activities, and the role of CRM in historic mining sites. Geographic locales so far include various areas throughout interior and coastal Alaska, southern Yukon Territory, and Scotland. Paper presentations will be limited to 20 minutes. Abstracts: must not exceed 100 words. MUST be received by either Robin Mills or Peter Bowers by Dec. 7, to meet a symposium deadline of Dec. 15. Abstract format must be one computer disk copy (WordPerfect or MS Word) and one hardcopy. HOWEVER, these latter requirements will be handled by Robin Mills if they are sent via e-mail to his address below. CONTACT: Robin O.
