THURSDAY, MARCH 18, M ORNING, 8:30 – 11:00 AM Conference Welcome (Ben H. Lewis Hall South); 8:30 – 9:00 am Welcome C. Kristina Roper (SCA President) Announcements Gwyn Alcock (Local Arrangements Chair) Georgia L. Fox (Program Chair) Plenary Session (Ben H. Lewis Hall South); 9:00 – 11:30 am Forging New Frontiers: The Curation Crisis, Stewardship, and Cultural Heritage Management in California Archaeology Organizer and Chair: Georgia L. Fox (CSU Chico) The curation crisis is nothing new; in 1977, archaeologist James Ford called attention to the already large accumulation of archaeological collections throughout the United States. Yet, the “crisis” continues as artifact collections increase, with fewer resources to handle the storage, care, and conservation of these collections. Although professional organizations have been addressing the issue, such as the SAA, SHA, and others, the dialogue remains ongoing. Seeking solutions requires alternate points of view and voices. This SCA Plenary, therefore, seeks a multi-faceted approach, diverse ideas, and unique and varied perspectives in this all-star panel of experienced cultural heritage specialists from various entities and backgrounds. We especially welcome our Native American colleagues in this important discussion,
