    Current Illinois Antiquity Editor Alice Berkson and Design Editor Kelvin Sampson are stepping down as editors in 2016. The Illinois Association for Advancement of Archaeology board is seeking replacements for these volunteer positions, which could be combined, and would start in the Spring of 2016. If you would like to be a key part of a 550+ member organization that strives to bring knowledge of Illinois archaeology to the public, this may be the job for you! For more information, please get in touch with IAAA President Pro Tempore Doug Jackson at dkjackso@illinois.edu or Alice Berkson at berksonalice@gmail.com or Kelvin Sampson at ksampson@museum.state.il.us

    The theme for the 2015 Illinois Archaeology Awareness Month is 'The Future of the Past: Science in Archaeology'. As part of our efforts to inform people about different techniques used by archaeologists (geophysics, PIMA, XRF, isotopes, aDNA, LiDAR, etc) we would like to include brief descriptions of the techniques on the IAAM website and then provide links to webpages that describe the application of the techniques in archaeology. We are asking for contributions to the webpage by anyone who has or is currently using these techniques as part of your research project. This could be a great way to highlight advances in Illinois archaeology in recent years through providing examples of your research efforts.


    If you would like to contribute, please contact Karen AtwellEve Hargrave, or Joe Wheeler. We would need  several introductory sentences describing your research and then the actual link for more information.


    Thank you.

    ACRA – the American Cultural Resources Association – is beginning a new online learning series designed especially for people working in the Cultural Resource Management Industry. Classes are targeted to  people working in middle to upper management and the first class addresses issues of Human Resources. It is particularly designed for smaller or medium companies who don’t have an HR manager, or, of course anyone who has to regularly deal with these issues.  Registration information is below, and you do not have to be an ACRA member to participate (you just get a slightly better deal if you are).


    The program so far includes:



    Sept 22, 2015

    Human Resource Basics – What Small Businesses Need to Know

    October 2015

    Designing A Safety Program to Protect Your Human and Financial Assets

    December 2015

    Proposal Writing for Cultural Resources Management Professionals

    January 2016

    How to Host an Intern, Grow Your Business, and Develop Future Leaders
