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 />
