dest continuous running archaeological journal: The Wisconsin Archeologist.
We are holding our fall business meeting at the Hoard Museum in Fort Atkin
son WI this next Saturday, October 6th. Please see attachment here for time

rchaeological interests with an over 100+ year tradition of advancing Wisco

h projects we encourage you to apply for WAS research grants, and possibly
have you research published in The Wisconsin Archeologist journal. We also

th, such as Preservation of Sites, and Education and Public Outreach. These
activities are the very foundation of the Wisconsin Archeological Society
and will help advance the society in future years to come. Attached is a de
