It is hard to believe it has been 35 years since the SHA held its meeting in Boston. For a group such as ours, this is a bit of a surprise given the rich history of Boston and the surrounding region. Boston and the surrounding region have decades of connections with historical archaeology, ranging from the work associated with Boston’s “Big Dig” to excavations on Harvard’s campus to the African Meeting House Project. I encourage everyone to go to sessions, attend workshops and participate in the conference social activities, but also do make a point to take advantage of the history that surrounds you here in Boston such as the Paul Revere House or Old North Church. I particularly want to highlight the fact that during the conference (Thursday-Saturday) your conference badge will admit you to the Peabody Museum—an opportunity not to be missed! I also want to emphasize that the SHA is committed to having a conference where all of our attendees feel welcome and safe. To that end, please make a point of familiarizing yourself with our Code of Conduct for the conference (in your conference bag and you should also have received an email version of this document). If at any point during the conference you witness or are subjected to behavior that may constitute harassment, please reach out to any PHPEHURIWKH6+$¶VOHDGHUVKLS:HDUHDOOLGHQWL¿DEOHE\ULEERQVRQRXU conference badges identifying us by our positions (e.g., President, Treasurer, etc.) or as one of the Board of Directors. If you cannot readily locate one of us, go to the registration desk and ask to speak with Karen Hutchison. The key point is that we want to provide as safe and welcoming a meeting as is possible at what I expect to be one of our largest meetings. Enjoy Boston and our 53rd annual meeting! Mark Warner, President P.S. Hosting a conference is a tremendous amount of work. When you have a chance, please do take a moment to thank our conference co-chairs Joseph Bagley and Jennifer Poulsen, the other members of the conference organizing committee and, as always, Karen Hutchison and the crew who really make this conference possible!
