*Exploring Iroquois/Haudenosuanee Material Culture, 1700-1815**
/Carl Benn/*

This illustrated presentation will explore several inter-related themes 
in Haudenosaunee material culture. It will focus on how people dressed 
between 1700 and 1815, but will consider other ideas, such as choices 
individuals made in integrating the use of Euroamerican objects in their 
lives (such as weaponry). It also will examine some of the challenges 
and opportunities associated with using aboriginal artefacts and 
artistic representations of First Nations people from the period to 
understand indigenous society during an important time in Haudenosaunee 
history.

*Tsiionhiakwatha - Droulers Site Visit**
/Claude Chapdelaine/*

Circa 1450, approximately 500 St. Lawrence Iroquoians established a 
village near the La Guerre River in what is now the municipality of 
Saint-Anicet. During the past two years of fieldwork at the 
Droulers-Tsiionhiakwatha, Claude Chapdelaine and his students have been 
working hard to unravel the spatial distribution of the village. The 
estimated size of the village is 1.3 hectares and there is room for at 
least ten houses. The long term objective at the household level is to 
compare assemblages from different houses to evaluate membership and 
clan affiliation. At the village level, the goal is to establish its 
limits, to verify the presence of more than one midden and if a 
palissade was erected to protect the village dwellers.

*North American Archaeologist*

The editorial board of North American Archaeologist has recently changed 
and would like to take this opportunity to solicit manuscripts from the 
members of the Conference on Iroquois Research. North American 
Archaeologist is the only quarterly journal dedicated exclusively to 
North America and provides total coverage of all archaeological activity 
in Canada, the United States, and Northern Mexico. All archaeological 
research is welcome, but Cultural Resources Management studies, articles 
derived from theses and dissertations, and work based on activities in 
state, provincial and local archaeological societies are particularly 
encouraged. Please contact the Editor, Anthony Boldurian, at 
tboldurian at comcast.net <mailto:tboldurian at comcast.net> regarding 
manuscript submission or visit our website at 
http://www.baywood.com/journals/PreviewJournals.asp?Id=0197-6931.

*History *

Since 1945, The Conference on Iroquois Research, as it is more formally 
known by its founders and supporters, has provided a unique 
collaborative forum for anthropologists, archaeologists, artists, 
ethnohistorians, historians, linguists, and Native scholars and Elders 
whose research focuses on the Haudenosaunee. This academic retreat 
fosters a holistic approach where native and non-native researchers from 
all disciplines share the same podium with only one session in progress. 
Although the venues have changed over the last half century, from its 
informal encounters at the Allegany State Park administrative building 
in Red House, the focus, the spirit and the integrity of the conference 
continues to burn brightly. Come join us at the "Wood's Edge."

We hope to see you this fall.

Your Co-Chairs,

Terry Abrams,
Francis (Francesco) Scardera
