I’m looking <strong>for</strong>ward to seeing all of<br />

you <strong>March</strong> 17-21 st at the SCA 38 th<br />

Annual Meeting in Riverside. The<br />

Annual Meeting is the <strong>Society</strong>’s<br />

principal event and a time <strong>for</strong> all<br />

members to reacquaint themselves<br />

with friends, share their research, learn<br />

of new projects and studies, and honor<br />

those who have made a lasting<br />

contribution to our profession. Mike<br />

Lerch, Program and Local<br />

Arrangement Chairperson, has<br />

diligently crafted an impressive<br />

program of some 15 organized<br />

symposia and more than 120 papers,<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mative workshops, and a host of<br />

social events <strong>for</strong> all to enjoy.<br />

Highlights of the Annual Meeting<br />

include Thursday’s plenary session on<br />

DNA Contributions to <strong>Archaeology</strong><br />

and the all-day Saturday session<br />

commemorating the 20th anniversary<br />

of major contributions to Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />

archaeology by Michael Moratto and<br />

Joseph and Kerry Chartkoff. The<br />

Saturday session will be open to the<br />

public and will conclude with a<br />

reception where SCA members and<br />

the public may visit with the original<br />

authors and current speakers. Thursday<br />

evening, the Silent Auction will be<br />

held in nearby Redlands at the offices<br />

and courtyard of Statistical Research,<br />

located in a restored 1890 brick<br />

warehouse in the Santa Fe Depot<br />

National Register District. The Friday<br />

night Awards Banquet will feature<br />

keynote speaker Dr. John Rick, who<br />

will present a program on his research<br />

at Chavín de Huántar, Peru. Don’t<br />

miss out on all the great papers,<br />

events, and socializing with your<br />

friends.<br />

The long-awaited Volume 14 of the<br />

Proceedings has been delivered to the<br />

printer, and we anticipate its<br />

distribution at the Annual Meeting,<br />

along with Volume 17, the<br />

compendium of last year’s Annual<br />

Meeting Papers. Just two more reasons<br />

why you should make sure you come<br />

to Riverside.<br />

The Committee <strong>for</strong> Advanced<br />

Annual Meeting Planning (CAAMP),<br />

spearheaded by Tom Origer, has been<br />

hard at work securing hotels <strong>for</strong> future<br />

meetings. Through their ef<strong>for</strong>ts, the<br />

2005 Annual Meeting will be held at<br />

the Hyatt Regency in Sacramento and<br />

the 2006 Annual Meeting at the<br />

Marriott in Ventura. Potential sites are<br />

being considered <strong>for</strong> the 2007 and<br />

2008 Annual Meetings, and given the<br />

high energy of the CAAMP members,<br />

I’m sure it won’t be long until you see<br />

final venues being reported.<br />

By now, many of you have visited<br />

the SCA’s new website and have found<br />

its content and layout much improved<br />

over its predecessor. The first phase of<br />

the retooling ef<strong>for</strong>t focused on<br />

uploading and updating basic<br />

elements, such as in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

regarding the SCA, membership,<br />

meetings and events, and job<br />

resources. Subsequent phases will<br />

include pages on the <strong>Society</strong>’s awards,<br />

careers in archaeology, interviews with<br />

past key note speakers, volunteer<br />

opportunities, field schools, links to<br />

other historic preservation and<br />

archaeology home pages, government<br />

affairs/laws and regulations, and<br />

Native American issues. The new<br />

website is has been realized through<br />

the collective ef<strong>for</strong>ts of Greg White,<br />

SCA Business Office Manager, Past<br />

President Dana McGowan, and<br />

Southern Vice-President Terry Jones,<br />

all of whom worked diligently to<br />

ensure its on-line arrival in January.<br />

The SCA Executive Board held its<br />

quarterly Board Meeting in January,<br />

where the <strong>2004</strong> Budget was a primary<br />

topic of<br />
