[Here again we list "recent" work-i.e., items appearing in the last several years. Entries without initials were contributed by G.W.S. Occasionally, readers call our attention to errors in the entries, usually of a minor typographical character. Typing the entries is a burdensome task (undertaken normally by G.W.S.), and under the pressure of getting HAN out, some proofreading errors occasionally slip by. For these we offer a blanket apology, but will not normally attempt corrections. Once again, we call attention to the listings in the Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, the entries in the annual bibliographies and those in the Bulletin d'information de la SFHSH [Societe francaise pour l'histoire des sciences de l'homme]-each of which takes information from HAN, as we do from them-although selectively]

November 28-December 2, was "One Hundred Years of Anthropology," and the program was replete with sessions and papers relating in one way or another to the history of the discipline-too many, in fact, to attempt to list them all here in full detail.
