shameless plugs

I got a kick out of Barry's shameless plug about his
imagesofanthropology.com web site. He really does have some good images,
and since I am using two of his images in my own forthcoming book, it
can serve as a seque into my own shameless plug.

My own 'Introducing Archaeology' is going to the printers in late July
and, my publisher assures me, will be available for classes beginning in
early September.
You can see the publisher's blurb at
www.broadviewpress.com/bvbooks.asp?BookID=785. If that link doesn't work
you can just go to Broadview's web site (www.broadviewpress.com) and
follow the anthropogy links.
The book runs about 250 pages in a 6" x 9" format, has about 40 photos,
and a suggested list price of $39.95 (USD).

For those interested in Native studies, I also have a second edition of
'The First Nations of British Columbia: An Anthropological Survey' (UBC
Press, distributed by U. of Washington in the U.S., I think)coming out
this Fall.

I would like to see this thread be filled with shameless plugs. Over to
you Phil Stein, Becky Stein, Rebecca Cramer....

To continue the thread of shameless plug:. Bruce and I are working on the
10th edition of Physical Anthropology. It's like the pink rabbit--it keeps
going and going. It will out for Fall 2007. And Becky and I are working on
the second edition of Anthropology of Religion, Magic, and Witchcraft,
which will also be out in Fall. (I dare anyone to ask me what I'm doing in
my spare time.)

It looks like SACC is a very active group!!!

Hi everyone.

This looked interesting. I am a grad student in physical anthropology
and also teach a variety of classes currently at Lake Tahoe Community
College part time.

I was looking for a way to join the society itself and just did not
notice anything other than the Yahoo group. If there is anything else
I need to do or should do, please let me know.

Thanks and I am looking forward to being a part of the community.

Greetings Daryl, okay there are two formal ways to become involved with
SACC, both of which involve money, sorry about that.  One is to be a
member of AAA and also a student member of SACC at a student rate of $15
per year.  Or if you do not want to belong to AAA at this time, you may
become a subscriber (the official term) to SACC NOTES/Teaching
Anthropology for $15 (get two fabulous issues a year).  If you do the
later send the money to me at P.O. Box 194, Crete, Nebraska 68333 and
make your check out to AAA/SACC, memo SACC NOTES subscription.  Or you
can spend no money on membership and just be involved through the
listserve and also perhaps with the California consitutency, I am sure
Phil Stein and company will contact you.  Again welcome, and hopefully
we will get to meet you at the AAA annual meeting in San Jose (where we
will have two meetings plus two paper sessions) or at Asilomar for
SACC's annual meeting in April 2007.

Melvin Johnson, Treasurer

Daryl,

   Welcome to the California community college system! And hopefully welcome to
SACC. It's a great group.

   The California community college instructors get together every January on
Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday weekend in San Luis Obispo. It's a terrific get
together. Strangely enough, both the AAA and SACC meetings are in California
this year. (Not quite as exotic as our SACC meeting last March in Merida,
Yucatan.) So you have many opportunities to meet the gang.

   Let me know if I can help you in any way.

   Phil

Hi Sydney,

     Best wishes regarding your recent hiring as a full time instructor
of anthropology courses at a two-year college setting. The SACC_L
group is here to
help, so here goes:
       The textbook and two ethnographies I am currently assigning in my
"Cultural Anthropology" sections at SUNY Orange include:

1.  Textbook--Peoples and Bailey HUMANITY-AN INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL
ANTHROPOLOGY 7ED THOMSON/WADSWORTH PUB. ( especially because eleven of
my "Images of Anthropology" photographs are published in the text. I
agree that  what you just read was a shameless plug.  Anyway the link
to my website is www.imagesofanthropology.com )  The organization,
overall appeal, chapters included, and level of writing are excellent
as well.
2.  ethnography #1: M.Ward  /NEST IN THE WIND 2ND ED.  An excellent
protrayal of an anthropologist's field experience on a tropical island
in the South Pacific. Waveland Press.
3.  ethnography #2:  M. Shostak NISA--THE LIFE AND WORDS OF A !KUNG
WOMAN Harvard U. Press.  A fascinating autobiographical account of the
life of a woman in one of the last remnant gathering-hunting societies
able to be documented anthropologically.

The above combination ( one text, two ethnographies ) have worked very
well for me over my 37 years of college teaching.  Of course there
have been many different texts and other ethnographies along the way.
  As I see it, the textbook allows for an important organization to the
course as the students follow the presentation of chapters, as well as
enabling me to call apon two other anthropologists, Peoples and
Bailey, the text authors, to assist in the teaching of anthropology to
my students.  As I always say to my students, I can't cover all of
cultural anthropology by myself in the course!  The ethnographies add
a more vivid in-depth approach to class exporation of key issues and
topics in cultural anthropology.

Sydney, any questions concerning my approach, please call 845 341-4364
(office) leave a message if you have to, I'll get back to you as soon
as I can.  Much better than plunking out lengthy e-mail messages like
this one!

Hi to all of my many (I hope, especially after the 'shameless plug'
above) friends in SACC.  Hope to see you at the next SACC conference
in California.
    Barry Kass

Evolution's Backers in Kansas Start Counterattack


By RALPH BLUMENTHAL

KANSAS CITY, Kan., July 29 - God and Charles Darwin are not on the
primary ballot in Kansas
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/national/usstatesterritoriesandposse
ssions/kansas/index.html?inline=nyt-geo>  on Tuesday, but once again a
contentious schools election has religion and science at odds in a state
that has restaged a three-quarter-century battle over the teaching of
evolution.

Less than a year after a conservative Republican majority on the State
Board of Education adopted rules for teaching science containing one of
the broadest challenges in the nation to Darwin's theory of evolution,
moderate Republicans
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/r/rep
ublican_party/index.html?inline=nyt-org>  and Democrats
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/d/dem
ocratic_party/index.html?inline=nyt-org>  are mounting a fierce
counterattack. They want to retake power and switch the standards back
to what they call conventional science.

The Kansas election is being watched closely by both sides in the
national debate over the teaching of evolution. In the past several
years, pitched battles have been waged between the scientific
establishment and proponents of what is called intelligent design, which
holds that nature alone cannot explain life's origin and complexity.

Last February, the Ohio Board of Education reversed its 2002 mandate
requiring 10th-grade biology classes to critically analyze evolution.
The action followed a federal judge's ruling that teaching intelligent
design in the public schools of Dover, Pa., was unconstitutional.

A defeat for the conservative majority in Kansas on Tuesday could be
further evidence of the fading fortunes of the intelligent design
movement, while a victory would preserve an important stronghold in
Kansas.

The curriculum standards adopted by the education board do not
specifically mention intelligent design, but advocates of the belief
lobbied for the changes, and students are urged to seek "more adequate
explanations of natural phenomena."

Though there is no reliable polling data available, Joseph Aistrup, head
of political science at Kansas State University
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/k/kan
sas_state_university/index.html?inline=nyt-org> , said sharp ideological
splits among Republicans and an unusual community of interest among
moderate Republicans and some Democrats were helping challengers in the
primary.

Kansas Democrats, moreover, have a strong standard-bearer in the
incumbent governor, Kathleen Sebelius, who has distanced herself from
the debate.

"And if a conservative candidate makes it through the primary, there's a
Democratic challenger waiting" in the general election, Professor
Aistrup said.

Several moderate Republican candidates have vowed, if they lose Tuesday,
to support the Democratic primary winners in November. With the campaign
enlivened by a crowded field of 16 candidates contending for five seats
- four held by conservatives who voted for the new science standards
last year - a shift of two seats could overturn the current 6-to-4
majority. The four-year terms are staggered so that only half the
10-member board is up for election each two years.

The acrimony in the school board races is not limited to differences
over the science curriculum but also over other ideologically charged
issues like sex education, charter schools and education financing.
Power on the board has shifted almost every election since 1998, with
the current conservative majority taking hold in 2004.

"Can we just agree God invented Darwin?" asked a weary Sue Gamble, a
moderate member of the board whose seat is not up for re-election.

The chairman of the board, Dr. Steve E. Abrams, a veterinarian and the
leader of the conservative majority, said few of the opposition
candidates were really moderates. "They're liberals," said Dr. Abrams,
who is not up for re-election.

He said that the new science curriculum in no way opened the door to
intelligent design or creationism and that any claim to the contrary "is
an absolute falsehood."

"We have explicitly stated that the standards must be based on
scientific evidence," Dr. Abrams said, "what is observable, measurable,
testable, repeatable and unfalsifiable."

In science, he said, "everything is supposedly tentative, except the
teaching of evolution is dogma."

Harry E. McDonald, a retired biology teacher and self-described moderate
Republican who has been going door to door for votes in his district
near Olathe, said the board might have kept overt religious references
out of the standards, "but methinks they doth protest too much."

"They say science can't answer this, therefore God," Mr. McDonald said.

Connie Morris, a conservative Republican running for re-election, said
the board had merely authorized scientifically valid criticism of
evolution. Ms. Morris, a retired teacher and author, said she did not
believe in evolution.

"It's a nice bedtime story," she said. "Science doesn't back it up."

Dr. Abrams said his views as someone who believes that God created the
universe 6,500 years ago had nothing to do with the science standards
adopted.

"In my personal faith, yes, I am a creationist," he said. "But that
doesn't have anything to do with science. I can separate them." He said
he agreed that "my personal views of Scripture have no room in the
science classroom."

Dr. Abrams said that at a community meeting he had been asked whether it
was possible to believe in the Bible and in evolution, and that he had
responded, "There are those who try to believe in both - there are
theistic evolutionists - but at some point in time you have to decide
which you're going to put your credence in."

Last year's changes in the science standards followed an increasingly
bitter seesawing of power on the education board that began in 1998 when
conservatives won a majority. They made the first changes to the
standards the next year, which in turn were reversed after moderates won
back control in 2000. The 2002 elections left the board split 5-5, and
in 2004 the conservatives won again, instituting their major standards
revisions in November 2005.

Critics said the changes altered the science standards in ways that
invited theistic interpretations. The new definition called for students
to learn about "the best evidence for modern evolutionary theory, but
also to learn about areas where scientists are raising scientific
criticisms of the theory."

In one of many "additional specificities" that the board added to the
standards, it stated, "Biological evolution postulates an unguided
natural process that has no discernable direction or goal."

John Calvert, manager of the Intelligent Design Network in Shawnee
Mission and a lawyer who wrote material for the board advocating the new
science standards, said they were not intended to advance religion.

"What we are trying to do is insert objectivity, take the bias out of
the religious standard that now favors the nontheistic religion of
evolution," Mr. Calvert said.

Janet Waugh, a car dealer and the only moderate Democrat on the board
whose seat is up for election, said that just because some people were
challenging evolution did not mean their views belonged in the
curriculum.

"When the mainstream scientific community determines a theory is
correct, that's when it should be in the schools," Ms. Waugh said. "The
intelligent design people are trying to cut in line."

The races have been hard-fought. With the majority of the 100,000
registered Republicans in Mr. McDonald's northeast Kansas district
usually ignoring primary elections, a few hundred ballots could easily
be the margin of victory.

So Mr. McDonald, who with $35,000 is the lead fund-raiser among the
candidates, printed newsletters showing his opponent, the conservative
board member John W. Bacon, with a big red slash through his face and
the slogan, "Time to Bring Home the Bacon." Mr. Bacon did not respond to
several calls for a response.

But many of the homeowners Mr. McDonald visited Friday night showed
little interest in the race. Jack Campbell, a medical center security
director, opened the door warily, and when Mr. McDonald recited his
pitch, seemed disappointed. "I thought I won some sweepstakes," Mr.
Campbell said.

Last Thursday night at Fort Hays State University, Ms. Morris debated
her moderate Republican challenger, Sally Cauble, a former teacher, and
the Democratic candidate, Tim Cruz, a former mayor of Garden City, whom
Ms. Morris once accused of being an illegal immigrant. (He said he was
third-generation American, and Ms. Morris apologized.)

The audience asked about Kansas being ridiculed across the country for
its stance on evolution.

"I did not write the jokes," Ms. Morris said.

Spectators split on the winner.

"There are so many more important issues in Kansas right now," said
Cheryl Shepherd-Adams, a science teacher. "The issue is definitely a
wedge issue, and I don't want to see our community divided."

Applied and Practicing Anthropology in the US: A Bright Future within and
without the Discipline

Tim Wallace
Associate Professor
Dept. of Sociology & Anthropology
North Carolina State University
Box 8107, Raleigh, NC 27695-8107

The long winter for applied anthropology is over and the future is bright.
This paper briefly discusses the reasons for the fall and rise of American
applied/practicing anthropology and how and why applied anthropology is now
at the center of the AAA, even if it is still not quite there yet within the
discipline as a whole.  The variety of activities of applied anthropologists
is detailed and contrasted with that of public anthropologists, and the need
for better education and training of our graduates for a globalized world is
stressed.



All that Clash Talk:  Doing Cultural Anthropology in the Contemporary Middle
East

Daniel Martin Varisco
Chair, Anthropology
Hofstra University
200 Davison Hall
Hempstead, NY 11549

Thirty years ago anthropologists conducting ethnography in the Middle East
were just starting to look beyond their segmentary lineages and step out of
their little-tradition village studies.  Edward Said included anthropology
in the Orientalist line-up, even as ethnographic reflectionists were
replacing Levi-Strauss with Foucault on their critical theory reading lists.
   For anthropologists currently working in a field still geographically
placed between North Africa and Pakistan it is the ongoing political turmoil
that dominates both method and theory.  We anthropologists have evolved to
treat culture as our sacred turf, but it is impossible for any of us to
avoid the clash of civilization talk that underwrote the U.S. military
invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, underlines America’s post 9/11 war on
terrorism, and undervalues the ongoing humanitarian crises in Gaza and
Darfur.  In this talk I discuss the potential and constraints for
ethnographic research today in Middle Eastern societies.  How do we as
American scholars, often in disagreement with the current foreign policy,
enter into a field mined with political rhetoric?  Is it possible to conduct
ethnography and not become advocates for the people we interact with?  In
what sense can we claim to observe Islam when Muslims across the region
increasingly have reason to believe the West is Islamophobic and a threat to
local cultural authenticity?  What do we as anthropologists have to
contribute through our research to making the world a better place to live
and not just to think about or self-servingly deconstruct?
The Great Pueblos and the Future of Human Conflict

Douglas Schwartz, Senior Scholar
P.O. Box 2188
Santa Fe, NM  87504-2188

When the Spanish reached the northern Southwest, they discovered it speckled
with farmers living in huge mud-walled pueblos.  Blocks of rooms, three to
four stories high surrounding large plazas.  The Spaniards probably assumed
that these Indians had always lived in similar settlements.  Only in the
last century did archaeologists discover that these great pueblo communities
had only been constructed for about two hundred years prior to the arrival
of the Spanish.  Several new lines of evidence from archaeology, history,
climatology, and the study of human conflict have coalesced to reveal why
these large pueblos were originally built.  Buried within this explanation
is also a cautionary tale about threats to human societies that could be a
warning to the future of our own civilization.



Unity and Divisions of Multidisciplinarity in Biological Anthropology:
Challenges in Undergraduate Teaching and Research

Laura Cahue, Ph.D.
Thomas Leatherman, Ph.D., Chair
Dept. of Anthropology
Hamilton College 315
University of South Carolina
Columbia, SC  29208

In recent surveys of biological anthropology research publication visibility
and impact, Stojanowski and Buikstra (2005) and Armelagos and Van Gerven
(2003) examine research trends in human osteology, reaching somewhat
different conclusions.  This paper examines the relationship these trends
have to multidisciplinarity in biological anthropology.  We argue that
multidisciplinarity has both united and divided our field, contributing
toward the research trends reflected in the publication record, and
challenged our ability to teach a five-field biological anthropology.  We
further argue that it is essential that we help our students develop
critical thinking skills to facilitate the re-integration of our field as
anthropology and distinction from other fields and disciplines, eg. biology,
chemistry, medicine or criminalistics.




Language Structure, Objects, and Social Practices: Integrating Linguistic
Anthropology and Archaeology

This paper will investigate some of the ways in which research agendas in
different subdisciplines may be mutually relevant to each other.  Some
contemporary research in linguistic anthropology investigates emerging talk
as a public process that both creates environments that shape what others
are expected to do next and provides structured materials that are reused by
others as they construct subsequent talk.  This interest in dynamically
built, and rebuilt, environments resonates with the interests of some
archaeologists in how built environments structure human action through
time.  Though operating at vastly different time scales, both lines of
research share an interest in how human beings build action by secreting
relevant structure into a consequential environment.  In so far as the
language practices at issue here provide ways of building coordinated
action, they also constitute a primordial form of human social organization,
one that requires mutual intelligibility, and is thus deeply tied to
culture.  In brief, the vision of multi-field anthropology offers the
possibility of an integrated perspective on the organization of human
action, embodiment

we ( my college's Center for Community Research)got a little news attention on
this "find" of flint tool fragments that were included in our 19th century urban
dig site this summer season. The tv people (Ph.D. in communications) labeled it
"Cave Men" found in urban dig!  Then they used the old Life Magazine artist
rendition of Neanderthals!  I begged them to stop that lead  and they were so
annoyed with me for asking them to substitute "prehistoric" for Cave Men, that
they stopped running the story!  Even more revealing: my colleagues and friends
said that it did not matter to them, Cave Man simply means "old and exotic"! 
How about that for critical theory in action!

Essay


How to Make Sure Children Are Scientifically Illiterate


By LAWRENCE M. KRAUSS

Voters in Kansas ensured this month that noncreationist moderates will
once again have a majority (6 to 4) on the state school board, keeping
new standards inspired by intelligent design from taking effect.

This is a victory for public education and sends a message nationwide
about the public's ability to see through efforts by groups like the
Discovery Institute to misrepresent science in the schools. But for
those of us who are interested in improving science education, any
celebration should be muted.

This is not the first turnaround in recent Kansas history. In 2000,
after a creationist board had removed evolution from the state science
curriculum, a public outcry led to wholesale removal of creationist
board members up for re-election and a reinstatement of evolution in the
curriculum.

In a later election, creationists once again won enough seats to get a
6-to-4 majority. With their changing political tactics, creationists are
an excellent example of evolution at work. Creation science evolved into
intelligent design, which morphed into "teaching the controversy," and
after its recent court loss in Dover, Pa., and political defeats in Ohio
and Kansas, it will no doubt change again. The most recent campaign
slogan I have heard is "creative evolution."

But perhaps more worrisome than a political movement against science is
plain old ignorance. The people determining the curriculum of our
children in many states remain scientifically illiterate. And Kansas is
a good case in point.

The chairman of the school board, Dr. Steve Abrams, a veterinarian, is
not merely a strict creationist. He has openly stated that he believes
that God created the universe 6,500 years ago, although he was quoted in
The New York Times this month as saying that his personal faith "doesn't
have anything to do with science."

"I can separate them," he continued, adding, "My personal views of
Scripture have no room in the science classroom."

A key concern should not be whether Dr. Abrams's religious views have a
place in the classroom, but rather how someone whose religious views
require a denial of essentially all modern scientific knowledge can be
chairman of a state school board.

I have recently been criticized by some for strenuously objecting in
print to what I believe are scientifically inappropriate attempts by
some scientists to discredit the religious faith of others. However, the
age of the earth, and the universe, is no more a matter of religious
faith than is the question of whether or not the earth is flat.

It is a matter of overwhelming scientific evidence. To maintain a belief
in a 6,000-year-old earth requires a denial of essentially all the
results of modern physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology and geology. It
is to imply that airplanes and automobiles work by divine magic, rather
than by empirically testable laws.

Dr. Abrams has no choice but to separate his views from what is taught
in science classes, because what he says he believes is inconsistent
with the most fundamental facts the Kansas schools teach children.

Another member of the board, who unfortunately survived a primary
challenge, is John Bacon. In spite of his name, Mr. Bacon is no friend
of science. In a 1999 debate about the removal of evolution and the Big
Bang from science standards, Mr. Bacon said he was baffled about the
objections of scientists. "I can't understand what they're squealing
about," he is quoted as saying. "I wasn't here, and neither were they."

This again represents a remarkable misunderstanding of the nature of the
scientific method. Many fields - including evolutionary biology,
astronomy and physics - use evidence from the past in formulating
hypotheses. But they do not stop there. Science is not storytelling.

These disciplines take hypotheses and subject them to further tests and
experiments. This is how we distinguish theories that work, like
evolution or gravitation.

As we continue to work to improve the abysmal state of science education
in our schools, we will continue to battle those who feel that knowledge
is a threat to faith.

But when we win minor skirmishes, as we did in Kansas, we must remember
that the issue is far deeper than this. We must hold our elected school
officials to certain basic standards of knowledge about the world. The
battle is not against faith, but against ignorance.

Lawrence M. Krauss is a professor of physics and astronomy at Case
Western Reserve University.

For the sake of clarification-- is there a description of  the position, what it
involves, and what it might mean in terms of things like participation at the
annual meetings (SACC & AAA) etc.?   This would be useful information to put out
more prominently.

SACC Annual Meeting 2007

at Asilomar Conference Center,

Monterey, California



Plan now for a California Coastal SACC Fest, April 5th, 6th and 7th, 2007.
Paper sessions are scheduled on the 5th and 7th , a historic tour on the 6th
and optional tours are being planned for Saturday afternoon. After-dinner
speakers are planned for each evening. The theme of the Conference is going
to be Diversity in Time and Space, though any one who has a paper to give is
welcome. Deadline for paper abstracts is February 1st, 2007.

   Registration for SACC members is $250 for all three days, (single day
registration $125) until January 20th, then rates rise to $275 and $135 for
single day registration. Spousal/Significant Other Registration which
includes Friday tour and banquet but not all the bells and whistles is
$140.00

Non-member rate will be $275 until January 20th and $300 thereafter and will
include a one year subscription to SACC Newsletter. Nonmember single day
rates $135 till Jan. 20th, $140 after.

The unusual and wonderful thing about Asilomar besides being located on the
Beach of Monterey Bay is that lodging and food costs are combined and
include three very good meals a day. The combined costs, however, are almost
always cheaper than most local lodging alone. The daily costs depend on how
many are sharing the room.  1 person - 1 room is $175.00.  2 people - 1 room
is $110.00 each.  3-4 people - 1 room is $90.00 each.

If you stay outside Asilomar, there is a daily car fee of $8.75 and you may
want to purchase meal tickets at about $35.00 for the day.

Yet another shameless plug....My 'Introducing Archaeology' text,
complete with photos by SACC member Barry Kass and back cover blurbs by
SACC members Rob Edwards, Pat Hamlen, and Linda France Stine is now in
the publishers warehouse.

If you teach an intro to archaeology course and want an examination
copy, email Robert O'Reilly at Broadview Press.
roreilly@.... Fax: 705.743.8353 or Telephone
705.743.8990.

It will also be available for viewing at the AAA meetings in San Jose
(Broadview doesn't have its own booth this year, but will be represented
under the banner of 'The Association of Canadian Publishers').

Oh yeah,...if you don't teach archaeology but know someone who does,
please pass this information on.

Thanks for putting up with the plug. Please don't ban me from the list.

Although this does not directly relate to an instructor in anthropology but
instead
geography, it is something that I think is worth noting and following.  It seems
a
geography teacher was put on administrative leave for putting up foreign flags
in his
classroom because is violates state law.  The article can be retreived from the
following web site.
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/9726287/detail.html?subid=22100484&qs=1  
It seems
the flags in question were from China and Mexico.  So much for teaching not only
geographic literacy but also cultural awareness.  Mel Johnson

geography, it is something that I think is worth noting and following.
It seems a
geography teacher was put on administrative leave for putting up foreign
flags in his
classroom because is violates state law.  The article can be retreived
from the
following web site.
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/9726287/detail.html?subid=22100484&
qs=1   It seems
the flags in question were from China and Mexico.  So much for teaching
not only
geographic literacy but also cultural awareness.  Mel Johnson

Yet another shameless plug....My 'Introducing Archaeology' text,
complete with photos by SACC member Barry Kass and back cover blurbs by
SACC members Rob Edwards, Pat Hamlen, and Linda France Stine is now in
the publishers warehouse.

If you teach an intro to archaeology course and want an examination
copy, email Robert O'Reilly at Broadview Press.
roreilly@.... Fax: 705.743.8353 or Telephone
705.743.8990.

It will also be available for viewing at the AAA meetings in San Jose
(Broadview doesn't have its own booth this year, but will be represented
under the banner of 'The Association of Canadian Publishers').

Oh yeah,...if you don't teach archaeology but know someone who does,
please pass this information on.

Thanks for putting up with the plug. Please don't ban me from the list.

Dear SACCers
I have a question to ask because I am trying to get a few things taken care of
before
life becomes to hectic.  I have a plaque that lists the receipients of the
President's
Awards.  I am trying to update the list and have the following already on the
plaque:
1991--Richard Furlow, 1992--Charles Ellenbaum, 1996--Lloyd Miller, 1997--Philip
Stein.
I need to add the following:  2000--Anthongy Balzano, 2001--Mark Lewine,
2002--Mark
Tromans and 2005--Melvin Johnson.  Am I missing anyone?  Thanks for you help,
Mel
Johnson
