CHICAGO, ILLINOIS JANUARY 2 – 5, 2014 WELCOME TO CHICAGO! Dear AIA Members and Colleagues, Welcome to Chicago for the 115th Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America. This year’s meeting combines an exciting program presenting cutting-edge research with the unique opportunity to socialize, network, and relax with thousands of your peers from the US, Canada, and more than 30 foreign countries. Appropriately for an urban venue settled in the 19th century by ethnic Europeans, this year’s meeting will feature several sessions on East European archaeology. And sessions devoted to heritage and preservation and digital methodologies in archaeology touch upon increasingly central concerns in the discipline. Back by popular demand are the undergraduate paper session and the Lightning Session. We are indebted to Trustee Michael L. Galaty and the Program for the Annual Meeting Committee that he chairs for fashioning such a stimulating program.

SAVE the DATE Presidential Plenary Session (Saturday, 2:45–5:15 pm) The session I have organized on “Food and Drink” is the third in a series of presidential plenaries that in International Archaeology Day successive years have investigated major archaeological themes of archaeology. Popularizing as the title may October 18, 2014 seem, the subject is fundamental to archaeology as ancient peoples everywhere devoted tremendous resources to ensuring their diet (and survival) and left considerable material evidence. Like its predecessors, this year’s plenary A Global Event will include a mix of Old and New World presenters, some making their AIA debut. The 116th Annual Meeting Presidential Address at Council (Saturday, 5:30–7:30 pm) January 8–11, 2015 I extend a special invitation to those of you who are not AIA Delegates to attend the annual meeting of Council New Orleans, LA as observers to hear my (brief) presidential address. As this marks the final year of my presidency, I will be reflecting upon the AIA’s achievements during the last three years as well as looking towards the future. My talk also gives me the opportunity to thank the many loyal supporters, and particularly the staff, who have worked with me during my long tenure as an AIA member, society leader, trustee, and officer.

Norton’s words continue to inspire the Institute today: “The night of time far surpasseth the day, and it is the task of archaeology to light up some of this long night with its torch, which burns ever with a clearer flame with each advancing step into the darkness.” Help us celebrate the AIA’s birthday and continue the important work begun 135 years ago! Over the decades, donations from people of both great wealth and modest means have funded research fellowships, publications, site preservation, field work, scholarships, lectures and other educational programs. In honor of the AIA’s birthday, a special giving society is being established to ensure that we’re able to continue our important work for the next 135 years—and beyond! Donors who contribute $1879 will be recognized as Founders and will be invited to share in special anniversary festivities during 2014. Join the celebration by visiting the AIA Kiosk, giving online via www.archaeological.org.giving, or by calling 617.353.8709. Charles Eliot Norton Legacy Society embers of the Charles Eliot Norton Legacy Society are among the AIA’s most dedicated supporters. They have taken measures to include the AIA in their estate plans. If you would like to join this visionary group of contributors, please contact Jennifer Klahn M at 617-353-8709. FOUNDING MEMBERS Robert J. Atwater Anna M.
