Blythe E. Roveland (Department of , Machmer Hall, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003) is conducting research in the German Paleolithic focusing on the history of Late Glacial in northern Germany.

Alice Kehoe (Marquette University, 3014 North Shepard Avenue Milwaukee, Wisconsin has received information from Bennett McCardle (Manager, Public Service Archives of Ontario, 77 Grenville Street, Toronto, Ontario M7 A 2R9) stating the following: "I have run across quite a number of isolated references to archaeological (and informal, illegal grave-robbing) activities in Canada in the records of the Department of Indian Affairs at the National Archives in Ottawa. Some of those relating to the North­ West Coast were energtically collected by Douglas Cole in his excellent book on the spoiling of the native religious heritage. There are others relating to the prairies and Ontario, however, that would be work looking at if someone wanted to do so, and I would be glad to suggest approaches if needed". Mr. McCardle's telephone number is 416-965-4039; FAX 416-324-3600. Mr. McCardle's M.A. thesis is in anthropology was taken in 1980 at the University of Toronto. The title of his thesis is "The Life and Anthropological Works of Daniel Wilson (1816-1892). Wilson's importance as an archaeologist may be seen in the fact that he wrote the 11 page article on "Archaeology" for the important 9th edition of the Encylopaedia Britannica, 1878 -- in print until the 1911 11th edition The 9th edition was W. Robertson Smith (Religion of the Semites ).

VI. Activities of Various Academic Gatherings Related to the History of Archaeology

The Fourth Annual Symposium on the History of Archaeology was held during the 56th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology in New Orleans. The title of this year's symposium was IIContinuity and Diversity: The Development of Regional Traditions in Americanist Archaeology". The theme of the symposium concerned the development of regional traditions in Americanist archaeology. The symposium explored the hypothesis, initially expressed by Curtis Hinsley, that the history of Americanist archaeology is best explored in the context of the region. Within this broad framework, the symposium encouraged a variety of methodological approaches to the explanation of archaeology's history. Networks (the theme of the Third Annual Symposium), the biography of individuals or institutions (e.g. museums or departments of anthropology) and analysis of the influences deriving from the broad sociocultural context of a region all seem to be perspectives that might yield useful insights on regional traditions. Symposium Abstract: "This symposium--the fourth symposium on the history of Americanist archaeology--explores the development of regional archaeological traditions. The basic goals are to trace how the individuals, institutions, and social contexts of particular regions have interacted to define regional traditions, and to assess how such developments have influencedAmericanist archaeology as a whole. Individual papers track the emergence and influence of regional traditions in Mayan Mesoamerica, the Basin of Mexico, and the V.S. Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Plains." The participants and titles of symposium papers include: ' Sus an J. Bender (Skidmore College) and Edwin Curtlin (New York State Museum) - "Two Visions of New York State Prehistory", EUn C.
