Please join us for another rousing Native
American-Archaeology Round Table with outstanding presentations and panel
discussions by New England professional archaeologists and Native American
leadership.
This year's Roundtable will explore stone cultural features
and ceremonial sites/landscapes. Our diverse group of speakers will share their
experiences and knowledge about this expansive category of cultural features.
Until recently, stone cultural features have gone largely undocumented by
cultural resource professionals while working in the field. The explicit goal
is to introduce new information and elicit suggestions for how professional
archaeologists can consider and record this variety of cultural resource in
future investigations.
Scheduled speakers and panelists include CT State
Archaeologist Dr. Brian Jones; Rhode Island State Archaeologist Dr. Timothy
Ives; CT State Historic Preservation Officer Daniel Forrest; Schaghticoke elder
Trudie Richmond; Mohegan Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Elaine
Thomas; Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Kathy Knowles;
Mohegan elder Faith Davison; Eastern Pequot Vice-Chair Brenda Geer; authors and
stone structure researchers James Gage and Mary Gage; Mohawk-Abenaki
engineering consultant Donald Aubrey; archaeologists Dr. Greg Walwer and Dr.
Curtiss Hoffman; and geographer Dr. William Ouimet.
Held every year in autumn, the Archaeology Roundtable consists of presentations and panel discussions on a particular theme. Previous themes include Native Conflict; Peopling Of The New World; and Archaeology's Role & Responsibility In Contemporary Politics. Presenters and panelists include respected archaeologists and anthropologists, as well as prominent figures and leaders from the Native American community.
The Roundtable is a free event and audience participation is encouraged.

In addition to this round table, I will be giving a version of the same paper at the Massachusetts Archaeological Society's Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 11th. I will post the meeting schedule next week.
