We are excited to have the Southeastern Archaeological Conference join us in downtown historic Augusta along the banks of the scenic Savannah River. Twenty-first century Augusta finds itself the third-largest city in Georgia, offering eclectic vintage stores, unique bars and taverns, local music venues and affordable restaurants. Additional attractions include Augusta Museum of History, the Morris Museum of Art, the Lucy Laney Museum of Black History, and the Enterprise Mill Textile Museum. Outdoor attractions include Riverwalk Augusta along the Savannah River, and walking trails that span the length of the 1845 Augusta Canal, or even better, just cruise the historic canal on a Petersburg boat tour. We hope you include time to check out some of the unique places that Augusta has to offer. Be sure to check out VisitAugusta.com for information about Augusta. This year is a special one for SEAC, celebrating its 75th annual meeting. From its humble beginnings in 1938, SEAC has grown to routinely include as many as seven consecutive speakers, dozens of posters, and attendance that averages around 700 members and guests. The 75th annual meeting is no different. Our program includes 264 paper and a record 83 poster presentations for a total of 347 presentations. These are organized into 17 symposia, comprised of 15 paper symposia and 2 poster symposia, and 18 general sessions, comprised of 11 paper sessions and 7 poster sessions. Important themes that crosscut sessions this year include public, community, and tribal archaeology; women in the past and present; and heritage sites at risk. In addition to this full roster, we have what seems like a record number of panels this year. It is doubly encouraging to note that two of these panels focus on cooperative efforts between Tribes and archaeologists. Panels are open to all attendees, so if you have time in your schedule, please drop by any of the panels that hold interest to you. Another very special event this year is the Plenary Session to be held on Friday afternoon in Oglethorpe DE from 3pm to 5pm. As the title denotes, organizers seek evidence-based, community solutions to sexual harassment and sexual assault in southeastern archaeology. For maximum participation and input from attendees (i.e., the SEAC community), we elected for the non-concurrent, plenary session format. Please take the time to participate in this very important and timely discussion. Your input is needed at this critical juncture and, trust us when we say, it is also very much appreciated. We thank the Society for Georgia Archaeology (SGA) for co-hosting their meeting alongside SEAC’s and, in doing so, helping us add to our Friday and Saturday offerings. These special SGA events include Abby the ArcheoBus, which will be on display on the James Brown Blvd./9th Street side of the hotel all day on Friday, and two organized symposia to be held on Saturday. In closing, we would like to thank the many people who have helped organize and facilitate the meeting. Among them, we are especially thankful to our co-organizers for all their hard work: Walter A. Clifford IV (Local Arrangements and Music), Tammy F. Herron (Book Room Coordinator), Brandy Joy (Social Media Liaison), Scot Keith (Great Spirits of SEAC), and Maggie Needham (Volunteer Coordinator). Marriott staff, especially Carol Hall and Casey Stringfield, have been very accommodating. We thank Chad Caswell for keeping us in the 21st century with customized phone apps. We are grateful to our Saturday excursion tour guides and organizers, especially Daniel Baker, Meggan Blessing, George Calfas, Jessica Crawford, Michael Davis, Tonya A. and Justin E. Guy, and Ken Sassaman. Finally, a big thank you to our wonderful presenters, symposia organizers, chairs, panelists, moderators, and student volunteers! We hope you enjoy the meeting as much as we have enjoyed planning it.
