Please note that the submission deadline for the Newsletter's fieldwork issue is March 15, 2014; contact your regional fieldwork editor for details on how to contribute (contact information can be found at the end of the current issue).

Creese; Nature versus Culture: A Comparison of Blackfoot and Kayapó Resource Management by Lindsay M. Amundsen-Meyer; One Gun Phase Points: A Reassessment of the Late Side-Notched Projectile Point System in Alberta by Tyler James Murchie. CAA Members can dowload PDFs of articles and book reviews when logged in to the website.
The CAA/ACA is able to offer assistance to student conference participants to offset their travel costs. Grants apply only to the travel portion of conference expenses and not accommodation. Grant applicants must be members in good standing and must participate directly in the scholarly program of the Annual Conference by presenting a paper or poster for which they are the first (primary) author, or by being a Session Discussant or an Invited Presenter.
On behalf of the organizing committee for the 47th annual meeting of the Canadian Archaeological Association, I am pleased to announce the Call for Sessions, Papers, Forums and Posters for the London 2014 CAA conference.
We have decided to add a new membership category. This has all of the benefits of the regular membership at a reduced cost. The only difference is that you only have Online access to CAA Publications (you will receive no printed versions). If you like the feel of paper in your hands this is not for you. If you like the idea of going paperless, you may want to consider this option.
The CAA executive and the 2014 Organizing Committee are happy to announce that the 2014 annual meeting will be held in London, Ontario, from May 14 to May 18, 2014.
