1-2 August 2001 - Nature in Legend and Story (NILAS), first national joint meeting with the International Society of Anthrozoology and the International Society of Applied Ethology (University of California, Davis, USA) Nature in Legend and Story (NILAS) announces its first national meeting jointly held with the International Society of Anthrozoology and the International Society of Applied Ethology at the University of California, Davis, August 1-2, 2001. What are animals to us, or we to them? How do we humans make sense of them in our legends, bestiaries, natural histories, fables, proverbs, books (for children and adults), games, tales, poems, art ? What do we have to learn about ourselves from such lore and literature? And what do the animals have to teach us? NILAS is a society, an organization of scholars, storytellers, and interested amateurs united by a shared fascination with such questions. And just as we take animals seriously as the subjects of stories, we also take them seriously as live subjects facing us across a categorical but permeable boundary. NILAS Call for Papers: Animals in Folklore and Literature For our first national meeting next summer in Davis, California, our subject will be Animals in Folklore and Literature, as we meet jointly with the International Society of Anthrozoology and the International Society for Applied Ethology. We invite paper proposals for individual presentations, for a session of storytelling, and proposals for readings by poets or nature writers. We especially invite abstracts for work in progress (essays, dissertations, performances) for a colloquium at which those attending can comment upon the work of others and hear suggestions about their own. We cast our net widely, hoping to gather a mix of storytellers, poets, writers, academics, and other teachers as well December 1, 2000. We solicit your immediate interest. If this will be part of your plans, please notify David Wilson at the address below, or at: dswilson@ucdavis.edu. Your immediate response will govern our program. Thank you! January 31, 2001, abstract deadline: The deadline for submission of abstracts and proposals will be January 31, 2001. A five hundred word abstract or proposal, including title and need(s) for AV support should be sent to: David S. Wilson, American Studies, retired, University of California, Davis, One Shields Ave, Davis, California 95616, Attention: NILAS Conference; or emailed to him at: dswilson@ucdavis.edu.

29 August - 1 September 2001 - Archaeological Science 2001 (University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) The "Archaeological Science 2001" conference will be held at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK from the 29th August until the 1st September 2001. At the turn of a new millennium archaeological science appears to be distancing itself from other aspects of archaeology, as ever more powerful analytical tools are brought to bear on archaeological questions. The increasing trend towards more powerful scientific methods on the one hand and 'pure' archaeology on the other is also reflected in the tensions between funding bodies and the creation of new funding streams within both areas. This conference seeks both to review the advances in archaeological science and try to place them more firmly within the developments in theoretical and field archaeology. The meeting is divided into five major themes, each of which will consider the contributions and detractions of archaeological science. Proceedings of the sessions will be published in Journal of Archaeological Science and speakers who wish to contribute to the publication are asked to bring manuscripts to the meeting. Major Sessions include:

12 September 2001 - 3rd Annual Meeting of the Animal Palaeopathology Working Group (APWG) - the Royal College of Surgeons, London, in association with the Pathology Museums Group (PMG). On Wednesday 12th September the Animal Palaeopathology Working Group (APWG) will hold its third annual meeting at the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS), London, in association with the Pathology Museums Group (PMG). The meeting is still going ahead although in a revised format. The day will begin at the RCS, with a tour of the Hunterian Museum. The closest tube stop is Holborn. (Check the RCS web site or further details of how to get there). We will start in the Hunterian Museum, hopefully with some refreshments @ 10.30 am (to be confirmed). The Hunterian curator will be on hand to answer questions and chat. We may not have a structured tour but home in on one or two of Hunters important works in relation to comparative anatomy. We should be able to get access to some of Hunter's bone pathology that is stored in the drawers in the museum. Those who want to can also go to the Wellcome Museum of Anatomy and Pathology and whilst that is all human material, and there will be the opportunity to look at specific pathologies. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANY PATHOLOGIES YOU WANT TO LOOK AT AND WE CAN ARRANGE FOR THESE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE. Thanks to those who have already contacted me about this. If any one is interested, we can also visit the conservation lab and/or the store with Hunter's large animal skulls. You'll be left to your own devices at lunch, although there are plenty of pubs and cafes around. The afternoon session will be at the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy, UCL (it's only a short walk from the RCS). Details for the RCS and the Grant Museum are as follows: Royal Colllege of Surgeons of England Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy For further information please contact: Jessica Davies, Alternatively you can visit our web-site: http://www.bham.ac.uk/bzl/palpath.html APWG at ICAZ 2002 The Animal Palaeopathology Working Group (APWG) has proposed a session for the ICAZ 2002 conference at the University of Durham entitled....... Beyond 'interesting specimens': palaeopathology and its contribution to the study of animal husbandry. The relegation of pathological observations to little more than a brief description, which is typically lacking in integration with the rest of the evidence, is unfortunately a frequent occurrence in animal bone reports. There is a general a tendency for pathologies to be reported as "an interesting case of x" rather than any attempt to understand their archaeological implication. For example, it can often be read in site reports that there were 'x' cases of a particular condition were recorded. The conditions are often described, accompanied by a plate and given a diagnosis that is usually followed by a reference to Baker and Brothwell (1980). However there is invariably no attempt at calculating the prevalence of that condition, nor any attempt to understand the implication for human-animal relationships - the very rationale of zooarchaeology. Such an approach has meant that there is a general consensus that the study of animal palaeopathology is of limited potential in providing information regarding animal husbandry. In this session we would welcome papers that go beyond this approach of merely describing pathology and demonstrate its potential for providing a significant contribution to the understanding of animal husbandry. If anyone is interested in presenting either a paper (15 minutes long with 5 minutes discussion) or a poster in this session we would like to hear from you. We are currently in the process of trying to secure funding, so please contact us even if you would not be able to otherwise attend without financial assistance. The proceedings of the session will eventually be published as an edited volume through Oxbow.

20-23 September 2001 - Neolithic Revolution! New perspectives on south-west Asia in light of recent discoveries on Cyprus (Droushia Village, Cyprus) A conference organised by the Council for British Research in the Levant in collaboration with the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus Early evidence for the presence of Neolithic communities has recently emerged on Cyprus in the form of the so-called Cypro-PPNB of the later 10th millennium b.p. (uncalibrated). Material and environmental remains from sites such as Kissonerga-Mylouthkia, Parekklisha-Shillourokambos and Kalavasos-Tenta have hinted at close affinities with the Levantine-PPNB communities of the adjacent mainland, over a millennium earlier than has previously been assumed. This evidence has far-reaching implications for long- standing explanations and interpretations of the transition from hunting and gathering to food production in the Levant, which may need to be reconsidered. The Conference, which is aimed at researchers working on the late Epipalaeolithic and early Neolithic periods of the Levant, Anatolia and Cyprus, will be organised along thematic lines. Listed below are themes that are intended to offer participants a broad platform to present ideas, opinions and studies. In addition to providing a forum for the presentation of pre-submitted conference papers, two days of field trips are planned during which the emphasis will be on in- field presentations and debate. We also wish to encourage practical workshops to give specialists working on Cyprus and the south-west Asian mainland the opportunity to discuss their fields in more depth and to compare their materials and approaches. Themes
The conference fee will be £175, including 5 nights half-board accomodation in a 3 star hotel and all field trips. Limited financial assistance, primarily for graduate students, may be available. For further information contact: Assistant Director,
29 September 2001 - Interpreting Stratigraphy Group conference - Contemporary Approaches to Archaeological Fieldwork: theory vs. practice, democracy vs hierarchy (Department of Archaeology, University of York) The next meeting organised by the Interpreting Stratigraphy Group will take place in York on Saturday 29th September, 2001. This year we have decided to build at least part of the day around a more general theme than on previous occasions. Hence we will be looking at aspects of hierarchies on site, both in terms of recording procedures and the personnel who implement them. Has the development of set proforma and descriptive criteria limited creativity and imposed unwieldy managerial structures or is this the only way to achive valid and directly comparable analyses of site data? Indeed, are both of these observations true at the same time?! What is the role of on-site interpretation, and how should it be related to post-excavation procedures? Has the advent of greater commercialization in fieldwork and an increased emphasis on mitigation strategies altered the terms of these debates? And what of the relationship between fieldworkers adopting different approaches to recording and interpretation, and specialists dealing with the range of data which excavation generates, from structural and topgraphic evidence to artefacts and environmental samples? If you are interested in contributing a 20 minute paper to the meeting on any of the above issues, please send me a title and brief abstract (preferably by email as soft copy) to the address below by the end of June. Alternatively, if you just want to come along and join in the debate, write back and I will ensure that you are circulated with a conference programme in July.

8-15 October 2001 - ICAZ - Conference of the Fish Remains Working Group (New Zealand) CIRCULAR 3 - 1 February 2001 ICAZ - CONFERENCE OF THE FISH REMAINS WORKING GROUP ATTENDANCE Pre-Registration is progressing nicely. So far 32 people have contacted Juanita and booked their accommodation and paid deposits etc. I expect the final number will be about 50, based on on-going correspondence with members. There are 197 members of FRWG, and of these I have 169 email BUS TOUR This is obviously very popular as 27 seats of the break-even number of 30 are now filled. I dont think we can arrange extra accommodation along the way if the number exceeds 30, so if you want to come on the tour, please get in quickly, and remember that bookings are confirmed only when the fee REMINDERS 1: If you have not already done so, please read Circular 2 attached below and make sure to contact Juanita Smart as soon as possible to book your accommodation and pay a deposit (email: juanitas_hwtdixon@atlasmail.com). Please take note that Paihia is only a small town and accommodation is 2: The same goes for sending your abstracts. I have abstracts from almost all of those who have pre-registered so far, but some people are being a bit slow. Please get me your abstracts without further delay please. 3: Please dont forget that the registration fee and the fieldtrip fee must be paid by 28 February. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Several people have asked me for financial assistance to attend the conference. Im sorry to say I cannot provide this to anyone from New Zealand sources. You will recall that at the New York meeting several people offered to help raise money in the US and Europe to help people in their areas T-SHIRT LOGO If anyone would like to send me a suggestion for a logo for the Conference T-shirt that would be great. I have some ideas myself, but would love to have some input from others. all the best Foss Leach
what you need to do and when 1: Contact Juanita Smart by email (see below) and book accommodation and pay a deposit as soon as possible 2: Contact Foss Leach by email and confirm the title of your paper as soon as possible 3: By January 30, send Foss Leach by email your abstract 4: By February 28 pay the Registration fee and the fieldtrip fee to Juanita Smart The next conference will be held at Paihia, New Zealand. The first 5 days will be the actual conference (4 days of papers and 1 free day in the middle for local boat trips, fishing, recreation, conference dinner etc.), and the last 3 days will be a fieldtrip ending in Auckland. Monday 8 - Conference Papers Paihia is in the Bay of Islands in the far north of New Zealand, 420 km north of Auckland. There are regular buses and flights from Auckland to Paihia, so it will be simple when arriving in New Zealand to get to the venue. Details of how to get to Paihia are provided below. Please arrange to arrive in Paihia by Sunday 12th October. Paihia is one of the main big-game fishing centres in New Zealand. There are many fishing and cruising trips available to visitors, a large aquarium of common local fishes, superb motel accommodation adjacent to the beach at modest prices, and excellent sea food restaurants. There will be a free day in the middle of the conference to take advantage of local activities. The meeting will be held in the conference room of the Paihia Pacific Resort Hotel, which is a well-appointed venue with seating for up to 120 participants. E-mail facilities will be available so that participants can keep in touch with family etc. The conference is being held at the beginning of the spring season in New Zealand, so it is not the hottest time of year; however, sea water temperatures in the Bay of Islands are 16-17 degrees C at this time, and many people start swimming then. The far north has a pleasant climate, and is often referred to as the `winterless north', although there could be rain at that time of year. There is good fishing, snorkling and scuba diving all year round. When you arrive at Auckland International Airport and pass through customs and immigration, you will find a bus stand immediately outside the terminal. The "Airbus" will take you into the city. This departs every 20 minutes, and takes 40 to 60 minutes to get into the city, depending on traffic. You can purchase a return ticket for $20 if you wish, and use the other half when you return to the airport after your stay in New Zealand. Ask the bus driver to let you off at the "Intercity Depot". This is in downtown Auckland, close to the Sky Tower, which is a major landmark in the city. You need to catch one of the "Intercity Coachline" buses at the Depot, which is going to Kaitaia. This stops at Whangarei, Paihia and Kaitaia (and some small stops). The fare is $44, and the bus takes 4 hours. Departure times are: 08.30 am Daily When you arrive at Paihia, your motel is right on the beach front and easy to find. Paihia is a very small township and you cannot get lost. Foss will be staying at the Anchorage Motel (Phone 09-402-7447). Instead of using the bus service, you could take a flight from Auckland to the Bay of Islands. Air New Zealand flies Auckland to Kerikeri 4 times daily during the week, and 3 times daily Saturday and Sunday. This is a 15 seater Bandeirante turbo prop, $189 one-way fare, taking 50 minutes. All flights are met by a shuttle which takes passengers to Paihia for $15. There will be a three-day post-conference bus tour. Day 1: This will take in several archaeological sites at Kerikeri, Pouerua mountain, and Kokohuia on the Hokianga harbour (staying at Omapere Tourist Hotel overnight). Day 2: visit to the kauri forest at Waipoua, special guests of the Maori New Zealand community (indigenous people) at Te Houhanga Marae and Rahiri meeting house near Dargaville including traditional Maori food luncheon; then free late afternoon in Whangarei (staying overnight at The Quality Hotel). Day 3: Tour of the Marine Research Laboratory at Leigh, visit to a fish processing factory in Auckland, visit to the volcanic cone archaeological sites in Auckland city. Arrival in Auckland at the end of the fieldtrip marks the official ending of the FRWG conference, and delegates will disembark at the Auckland downtown bus terminal about 5.30pm Monday 15th. If you require accommodation in Auckland that night, or if you have any ongoing travel needs, please arrange this with Juanita Smart by email (see below). Unfortunately, we are limited to only 30 people on the bus tour, so this will have to be booked on the basis of the order in which the field-trip fee is paid to Juanita. So please confirm your booking early. The registration fee and Fieldtrip fee must be paid in full by 28 February 2001. This is to ensure that we know exactly how many people are coming and can make sure that the correct amount of all resources are ordered and paid for in advance. A deposit of 10% for accommodation is also required by February 28. Payment can be made by telegraphic transfer to a New Zealand Bank Account or by credit card by contacting Juanita Smart.
