Archéologues québécois autour du monde / Québec archaeologists around the world

Here's some news about a conference entitled "Archéologues québécois autour du monde" (Québec archaeologists around the world) which will highlight the variety of archaeological research projects being undertaken by archaeologists residing in my fair province. It will be held in Montréal's Pointe-à-Callière Museum next weekend. You can check out a list of presenters and abstracts here (all in French, except for one). The topics are pretty far-ranging, but there's a couple of paleo-themed presentations that should be most interesting.

Le Mois de l’archéologie au Québec / Québec Archaeology Month

OK... let's try this again!

Sorry for the hold-up in posts, but I am now back at the keyboard typing away at this blog, while getting used to working in my home town with my stupendously wonderful new wife after an eight-year stint in AZ! Go Montréal! Woohoo!! I'll be posting more regularly now, as my live is getting increasingly stable after a few months of insane activity!

Today, just a brief note to let the world know that August will be "Québec Archaeology Month" (i.e., "Le Mois de l’archéologie"), sponsored by Archéo-Québec. There'll be about 75 different events taking place around the province with the stated goal of making folks more aware of (and hopefully more interested in) the province's archaeological patrimony. In today's Gazette, S. Howell presents an overview of some of the events that will take place specifically in Montréal. I, for one,know that I'll be checking out at least a couple of those. Otherwise, you can also check out the rest of the activities planned for the month on the site's calendar. See you then!
