By way of announcement, the first North Creek Shelter manuscript--of many to come--has been accepted for publication by Kiva. (Well, there was a general article on NCS "published" in the proceedings of the 2006 GSENM Science Symposium, but that only counts on CV's.) Dr. Yoder took the lead on this one (along with Dr. J, Mark Bodily, and myself) in describing the onset of early small seed processing on the Colorado Plateau. (One of the few thing's we'll need to fix is getting our figures into Kiva's tiny hobbit format.)
The groundstone assemblage at the site was just one series of the crap-ton of artifacts we pulled out of that place over 5 seasons of work. So keep an ear out for more to come within the next year. The next one on the list is a fatty descriptive paper that we'll be submitting to American Antiquity before the end of the year, and each of us has at least 3-5 separate other articles in mind to take the lead on. Oh, and the upper levels (Archaic, Fremont, Late Prehistoric) haven't really been touched yet, so if anyone's looking for a future project let us know.

If I ever get a position somewhere, we are sooooo going back! There's a ton of work yet to be done. As I think back on NCS I think those involved were really lucky. Not only did we get to excavate a really sweet site, but got to hang out with Dr. J and a core crew for five years. Many good times around the camp fire and hiking to granaries. Good times.
