SHA 2001 Conference: Long Beach, CA, USA
14-19 January 2001
The Society for Historical Archaeology and the Advisory Council on Underwater Archaeology are pleased to announce the venue and theme of the 2001 conference:
Teach the Mind, Touch the Spirit
aboard the historic luxury liner Queen Mary, Long Beach, California Wednesday, January 10, 2001 through Saturday, January 13, 2001
Dear Colleagues,
For our first new millennium conference we have chosen a universal theme that is intended to unite us, one and all. We ask you to explore how we have been using education to help promote and advance our field of archaeology and how we will use education in the next millennium. This is a universal tool, one that permeates everything we do from the beginning of each project right through to the end. Education knows no regional boundaries, no cultural boundaries, no gender boundaries, no professional demarcation. Therefore, it is hard to conceive of a professional presentation that does not have an educational facet.
We are challenging all members to write their 2001 papers with education in mind. How have you used it in your research, your field work, your analysis, your presentation? We have structured the conference to look at education in context, in much the same way we look at an archaeological site. We have organized general themes in education for you to write your papers about and organize symposia around.

This call for papers is going out early so that we can all have a little more time to consider how education has motivated us and how we motivate others with it. However, we recognize that there is always late-breaking finds that deserve mention and space within the conference, so we have set aside time each day for short re-search reports.
Details for abstract submission are listed below. Please join us in making the first SHA conference of the millennium a milestone in our professional growth.
