Dear Colleague:

The Archaeometry Research Graduate Group of the University at Buffalo would like to invite you to participate in its Thirteenth Annual "Workshops in Archaeometry" Conference. In the past, the conference has been supported by the Department of Anthropology, the Canadian-American Studies Committee, and the Graduate Student Assembly. Last year's conference was a great success thanks to the contribution of our excellent speakers from throughout the United States and Canada.

The objectives of this conference are as follows: 1) to provide an annual forum for the discussion of archaeometric research; 2) to expand current knowledge of the scope of archaeometric research; and 3) to expand collaborative efforts among scholars. In addition, publication is intended for this year's workshop. Please submit a formal paper at the time of presentation if you wish to be included.

This is a two day conference held on February 23 and 24, 2002. It will contain four half-day work-shops. Participants will have the opportunity to present and discuss current research projects. Workshops will include an introduction by the session moderator, 30-40 minute informal presentation of research, and a period of open discussion. Ideas and concepts related to evolving research projects are especially encouraged. A Formal paper is not necessary unless you wish to be included in this year's publication. A reception/dinner will follow the last workshop session on Saturday.

We invite your suggestions and interests regarding the establishment of topics for the four work-shops. Please return the accompanying reply form by January 1, 2002. We will make a follow-up announcement that includes information about accommodations, scheduling, and topics. Also, we will be providing hotel accommodations for those out-of-town guests who are presenting papers. Funds are limited so your prompt response is encouraged if you need lodging.

Please invite other faculty and graduate students who you think would be interested in, or would benefit from this type of forum. Please consult our website at: http://wings.buffalo.edu/anthropology/argg.html for additional copies of our application. You may e-mail us at archaeometry@hotmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you. If there are further questions please do not hesitate to contact us at (716) 645-2511.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ezra Zubrow
Professor of Anthropology
