    Southeastern Archaeological Conference Bulletin 47 2004 Program and Abstracts of the Fiftieth Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Sixty-First Southeastern Archaeological Conference October 20 – 23, 2004 St. Louis Marriott Pavilion Downtown St. Louis, Missouri Edited by Timothy E. Baumann, Lucretia S. Kelly, and John E. Kelly Hosted by Department of Anthropology, Washington University Department of Anthropology, University of Missouri-St. Louis Timothy E. Baumann, Program Chair John E. Kelly and Timothy E. Baumann, Co-Organizers ISSN-0584-410X Floor Plan of the Marriott Hotel First Floor Second Floor ii Preface WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS! This joint conference of the Midwest Archaeological Conference and the Southeastern Archaeological Conference marks the second time that these two prestigious organizations have joined together. The first was ten years ago in Lexington, Kentucky and from all accounts a tremendous success. Having the two groups meet in St. Louis is a first for both groups in the 50 years that the Midwest Conference has been in existence and the 61 years that the Southeastern Archaeological Conference has met since its inaugural meeting in 1938. St. Louis hosted the first Midwestern Conference on Archaeology sponsored by the National Research Council’s Committee on State Archaeological Survey 75 years ago. Parts of the conference were broadcast across the airwaves of KMOX radio, thus reaching a larger audience. Since then St. Louis has been host to two Society for American Archaeology conferences in 1976 and 1993 as well as the Society for Historical Archaeology’s conference in 2004. When we proposed this joint conference three years ago we felt it would serve to again bring people together throughout most of the mid-continent.

  • Missouri Route 66 Tour October 20, 2019 to October 26, 2019 All Registrations Must Be Received 30 Days Prior to Start Date
    Missouri Route 66 Tour October 20, 2019 to October 26, 2019 All registrations must be received 30 days prior to start date. === Dear VCCA Member: Attached is the Registration form and basic information regarding the tour. The tour is limited to the first 25 who register. Registration is not complete until payment is made. The registration fee covers only the three meals provided and NO museums and attractions which have admission fees are included, and you will have to pay at the door. Several locations have provided a discount so be sure to ask for the VCCA rate. I hope the registration is self- explanatory, but if you have questions, please let me know. The speed limit for almost all of the tour is 55 miles an hour with very little Interstate travel. Please indicate if you need trailer parking so I can help arrange that if you want. At the welcoming dinner, there will be tons of stuff provided by the Missouri Division of Tourism about Route 66 and things to do in Missouri. If you want to do some planning before the tour, contact www.visit mo.com or call 1 800 334-6946 and they should get you to the right people or place. I will be happy to help get you the information you want. The tour provides a number of suggestions for one to do on his/her own. If you will indicate what interests you in these options, I will try to organize a group that share the same interest. For example, in Springfield, Cindy and I will probably do Museum on the Square and then Grizzley and the Botanical Garden.

Finished in 1932 at a cost of $37,000, the red granite-faced bridge is at Highway 66 (Watson Road) and Lindbergh Boulevard, south of Kirkwood, Missouri. The February 1932 issue of Missouri Motor News explained how it works, "Traffic desiring to turn from one road on to the other uses a paved circle or ramp constructed at each corner of the intersection. All left turns are prohibited, and neither is traffic allowed to cross either road. The necessity for left turns is eliminated by constructing the drives so that traffic makes two right turns.

  • Route 66 Association of Missouri
    Same Location ·u...••• for 50 Years! Historic Route 66 stretches across the U.S. from Chicago to Los Angeles. Along the way, in Lebanon, Missouri is a growing popular landmark stop for any history enthusiast, tourist, or local Ozark resident. Shepherd Hills Factory Outlets started in the outlet business in 1972 as an outlet for locally made Walnut Bowls. Ida and Rea Reid, founders, began their entrepreneurship operating a motel in the 1960's called the Capri Motel which was located right along Route 66, known today as Interstate 44. ' They sold the Capri Motel in 1966 and along with their sons, Rod and Randy, started a new business in 1972 called the Shepherd Hills Gift Shop which was leased as a part of the Shepherd Hills Motel and happened to be located in virtually the same spot as the Capri Motel. Later, as they began expanding, they bought a portion of the motel as well as the gift shop and began construction of their current building in 1999. In the meantime, Shepherd Hills added additional locations including those in Osage Beach, MO, Branson, MO, and Eddyville, KY, and brought in other quality products to the lineup including Chicago Cutlery, Denby Pottery, and of course Case XX pocketknives--making the latter also available through catalog mail order and eventually on the web at www.CaseXX.com.
