For this year’s event, thirteen sponsors supported twenty-eight student presenters by paying their registration and dues ($65 for each sponsorship). The number of sponsored students is indicated in parentheses after the sponsor’s name: Archaeological Services (Roger Moeller) (1) Archaeological Society of Maryland (2) Archaeological Society of New Jersey (2) Archaeological Society of Virginia (2) Archaeological Society of Virginia, Massanutten Chapter (1) Michael Barber (2) Claude Bowen (3) Council of Virginia Archaeologists (10) Dead Guy Books (Mike Madden) (1) Laura Galke (1) Bernard Means (1) Carole Nash (1) Richard Veit (1) MAAC has a reputation as a ‘student-friendly’ conference, and student sponsorship is a further extension of this ethic. By helping remove the economic burden of fees from undergraduate and graduate students, sponsorship encourages the next generation of MAAC archaeologists to become involved in the organization. The sponsorship program also provides an initial point of contact between students, archaeological organizations, and CRM firms. Our original goal was to offer sponsorships to all students presenting in the student paper competitions, and thanks to the interest in the program, we have achieved since the outset. Additional sponsorships are given to randomly selected students who are attending MAAC but not presenting papers. We hope that you will consider joining the Student Sponsorship Program in 2013. To arrange a sponsorship, please contact: Bill Schindler, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Washington College 300 Washington Avenue Chestertown, MD 21620 Ph: 410.778.8993 [email protected] 2 4 Publish your paper in the Journal of Middle Atlantic Archaeology Journal of Middle Atlantic Archaeology (JMAA) has been the annual publication of MAAC for 27 years. Although it is not a true proceedings of the annual meeting, preference is given to authors who have presented at the meeting. Article topics include historic and prehistoric archaeological site reports, archaeological theory and techniques, conservation practices, analytical procedures from related disciplines, regional syntheses, and book reviews. The Editor, Roger Moeller, works very closely with first-time authors. The Book Review Editor, Dennis Curry, has a knack for matching books with appropriate reviewers. Do not hesitate to contact Roger ([email protected]) with proposed manuscripts or Dennis ([email protected]) with books or topics you would like to review. 5 MAAC Plenary: Friday, March 23, 7:30 PM Research and Recovery Operations on Site of the Civil War Ironclad USS Monitor John Broadwater National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries Join John Broadwater as he discusses his role in the federal expeditions of the USS Monitor site from 1992 to 2004. These expeditions recovered the USS Monitor's engine and gun turret. The USS Monitor's famous battle with CSS Virginia took place on March 9, 1862, just over 150 years ago. John Broadwater is author of the new book, USS Monitor: A Historic Ship Completes Its Final Voyage, from Texas A&M Press. 6 Session Schedule * denotes a paper entered in the undergraduate student paper contest ** denotes a paper entered in the graduate student paper contest Friday Morning, March 23 Track A (Beach Club C room) Session 1: Archaeology of the 20th Century: Addressing the Recent Past Organized by Richard L. Guercin (USDA Forest Service) As just a bit over ten years has lapsed since the dawn of the new century it is wise to reflect upon its predecessor. Though recent in memory much of the previous century is lost and forgotten. Moreover, development and progress are a greater threat to 20th Century sites than any another in antiquity. Contributing to this is the perception of ubiquity, the idea that the events are too recent, and that the cultural- history of the 20th Century is superiorly documented with the rise of technology. This symposium is dedicated to the ghost towns of industry, vanishing communities whose voices will soon fall silent or already have been silenced, sentinels of conflict, and the small stories that contribute to enriching the record of what is archaeology's recent past. 8:30 AM Towards an Understanding of the 20th Richard J.
