New Approaches in Ohio Archaeology Ohio Archaeological Council, Fall 2009 Conference, Newark, Ohio Oct. 31-Nov. 1, Reese Center, Ohio State University-Newark Call for Papers The Ohio Archaeological Council (OAC) is hosting a conference this fall with a theme of New Approaches in Ohio Archaeology. This is a two-day conference (Saturday-Sunday) with a banquet and keynote speaker on Saturday evening, and a Saturday afternoon session and panel discussion on why, when, and where geophysical survey is necessary to make a reasonable and good faith effort to identify important archaeological sites. The OAC is seeking papers/presentations on topics related to new approaches. While we would prefer that these papers focus on Ohio archaeology, we will consider submissions with examples from other states with applicability in Ohio. Suggested topics for papers/presentations include but are not limited to: Residue Analysis; Paleoethnobotany (e.g., starch, phytoliths, pollen); Sourcing Analysis; Geoarchaeology (e.g., micromorphology or using geomorphology to inform testing strategies); GIS in Archaeology; Geophysics in Archaeology; New Approaches in Museum Settings; etc. While we would like to receive a variety of submissions that showcase examples of the applications of new approaches, we would also like presenters to provide information on why they chose to use the new approach, did the new approach achieve the objectives of its use, and was the new approach a cost effective solution for the intended objective. Papers will be 20-30 mins in length depending on the number of submissions. To be considered for the conference, please submit a 250-300 word abstract to: Jarrod Burks, President-elect, OAC at:

Tuesday, 12 May 2009 |
 This year the famous Labor Day Knap-In will be held at Flint Ridge State Memorial. Step back into prehistory and witness accomplished flintknappers create modern replicas of flaked stone tools utilizing many of the same production methods used by humans for thousands of years. You will see various knapping methods, which employ the use of hammer stones, antler and bone, and also more modern materials such as copper, to produce precise recreations of spears, knives and arrowheads. Visit the historic Flint Ridge State Memorial to see actual quarry pits dug by ancient people in quest of suitable flint material from which to make their tools, implements and weapons.
The event will take place on September 4, 5, and 6 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm each day. This event is sponsored by the Flint Ridge Lithic Society and the Ohio Historical Society. For more information, contact: Roy Miller (330) 359-5590 Ed Moreland (740) 625-5968
