Excavation Blog
I got this email forwarded to me today. Maybe we should set up a blog for Sand Hollow...
Prof. Michael Smith and his research team are blogging from their excavation project at Calixtlahuaca, Mexico!
Calixtlahuaca was a large urban center of the Matlatzinco culture, closely related to the Aztecs (A.D. 1100-1520).
n Hear about their latest discoveries,
n Learn about the history of the site, and
n Experience the day-to-day life at an archaeological dig as it is happening!
The blog contains the team’s informal reports and is geared toward the general public, with pictures, links and illustrations. The project began this month and will go through July 2007. Check back regularly and follow their progress!

Announcing the USAS/UPAC Convention 2007
June 8-10th at UVSC. Registration starts Thursday afternoon.
This year's theme will be The Archaeology of Utah Valley: The Late Prehistoric Period and Contributions to Archaeology by USAS members.
Dr. J will be our keynote speaker at a catered dinner Saturday night. Charmaine will likely introduce him and then, to his surprise, we'll hopefully have some sort of presentation afterward in honor of his contributions to USAS as well as to archaeology in Utah Valley and in the Late Prehistoric.
Any ideas or personal experiences you can share are much appreciated. We'd love to have you guys come do presentations--Friday and Saturday--or lead workshops. Obviously this is a small venue and most of the audience is comprised of amateurs over 60, but Utah Valley is central enough that we expect a fairly good UPAC attendance this year. Any subject is welcome, though obviously the closer to the theme the better. Aaron--Spotten Cave would be particularly applicable and we may have several field trips that will pass by and be able to point it out beforehand. Hint...
I know everyone's spread out, especially that time of year, but new blood and new ideas could really breathe life into this. And hey, free presentation opportunity. Registration forms won't be out until the end of March, but the fee is only like $10 and you get a groovy t-shirt. =)
Let me know if you guys want to participate. If for no other reason, for those of you still at BYU, you know Dr J loves to see us participate in this stuff. Thanks!

Woods and Yoder (2004)
Hey all,
dropping a quickie while I have some time away for St. Geo. This past week, the 2004 issue of Utah Archaeology finally made it to press. It is now available and features an article by Mr. Yoder(CRM stuff), and one by me(Spotten Cave, what else?)...then there are a few others. I can't remember what they are about.
Anyway, Mr. Bright grudingly admitted that I should get a free copy, so if he follows through, those of you in the office may get to see it. Those of you out of the office can let me know if you want to take a look.
Unfortunatley, the formatting is less than stellar. Many of the figures are fuzzy, and a little too small to really show what they are supposed to show, but whatever. It's out and the Great Basin Seminar paper no longer hangs over my head.
Note to self: never submit anything to Utah Archaeology again.

Congrats Cady and Jeff!!
Had a call from one Jeff Jardine. Baby Jardine was born today at approximately 8:00 PM, after an extended labor. Mother and child are doing fine. Baby weighing in at 7 lbs 2 oz and 19 inches(?).
Can't wait to meet little Joel Clark Jardine, a future friend of the Fremont.

Good Luck Cady
Cady is likely winding down her thesis defense at this moment. Full respect, and let's get the report ASAP.
New Blogger
Today, I was prompted to abandon my blogger account for my google account when I tried to get into the blog. It looks like everyone will also have to make this change.
