For those of you that are new to our series---the purpose of the forum/lecture series is to create a setting where Portland area archaeologists (student, professional, avocational) can learn more about each others’ work; foster greater communication; discuss archaeological issues and topics of interest; generate some intellectual ferment; and last, but certainly not least, to actually get to know one another. For additional information please contact Virginia Butler (butlerv@pdx.edu; 503/725-3303) or Ken Ames (amesk@pdx.edu; 503/725-3318).
