ÂÌñÒùÆÞ ANNUAL MEETING

2019 ANNUAL MEETING RECAP

Nearly 950 people attended ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s 2019 Annual Meeting in San Diego, California last month at The Westin San Diego. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s Executive Director, Andrew Vaughn, has said it was one of the best, if not the best, meetings so far. The academic program was especially strong, with 103 sessions and more than 500 papers and posters. Eric H. Cline gave the Plenary Address, “Dirt, Digging, Dreams, and Drama: Why Presenting Proper Archaeology to the Public is Crucial for the Future of our Field,†which can be viewed .

Other highlights of the 2019 Annual Meeting included a luncheon in honor of past ÂÌñÒùÆÞ President Lawrence T. Geraty and the establishment of the Geraty Community Archaeology Endowment, the Initiative on the Status of Women in ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s Mentoring Lunch organized by Beth Alpert Nakhai, and a reception on the last night of the meeting hosted by UCLA’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures.

A list of those who received honors and awards at the meeting in San Diego can be found here. President Susan Ackerman received the Richard J. Scheuer Medal for her excellent service to the organization. She offered her heartfelt gratitude to the ÂÌñÒùÆÞ family during her acceptance speech at the Members’ Meeting on November 22. As we bid farewell to the long-standing President, join us in thanking her for shepherding us to the next chapter of ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s history. We could not have done it without her.
