7-16-09 - EPAS Annual Potluck Picnic

 

Thursday, July 18th at 6:30 PM at the El Paso Museum of Archaeology

 

 

 
 

The July meeting will feature our annual potluck picnic at the El Paso Museum of Archaeology at 4301 Transmountain Rd.

 

As always, please bring a main dish, salad, side dish, hors d’oeuvre or dessert. The Society will provide the plates, napkins, utensils and cups, as well as iced tea. If you prefer soft drinks, please bring your own. Friends and relatives are always welcome.

 

We will also be presenting the award for the Thomas H. Naylor $1,000 Scholarship at this time to Graduate Student, Susan C. Ryan for her paper on "The Rise of Central Structure Communities Among the Central Mesa Verde and Kayenta Anasazi." The decision was a hard one this year and the voting was close because of the excellent competition entries. Not only will Susan's paper be published in The Artifact, but the other top entry by Matthew Barbour "A Trial by Fire" will also be published and a small portion of the paper by Javi Vasquez "A Cross-Disciplinary Proposal for Data Recovery Excavations at the Sierra Diablo Cave Site in Eastern Hudspeth County, Texas". A big thank you goes out to all of the entrants in this year's competition.

 

Please come join us and be prepared to have a good time. It is a great time to become reacquainted with old friends and to make new ones.

August 6-9 - 2009 Pecos Conference

 

The 2009 Pecos Archaeological Conference will be held August 6-9 in Cortez and Dolores, Colorado.  Information and registration are now available on the web at:  http://pecos.cortezculturalcenter.org/.

The Thursday night reception will be held at the Cortez Cultural Center, the host of this year's conference.  Papers, book sales, poster sessions, and camping will be at the McPhee Campground in Dolores. 
 
Additional activities at this year's conference will include the raising of a large, heavy stone object using prehistoric technology under Vince Lee's direction, and a Friday night presentation by author Craig Childs on the issue of looting of archaeological sites, the topic of his next book.
 
This year's dinner will be an on-site pig roast, and, thanks to the richness of the Four Corner's archaeological resources, there are many field trips to choose from on Sunday.
 
Early registration ends on June 30.  The web site is a "work in progress", but the essential information is there and on-line registration has begun.  Come join your colleagues for another fun and informative conference.
