SOCIETY FOR AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY 59th ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING

At 5:14 p.m. on May 24, 1994, President Bruce Smith called the 59th Annual Business Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology to order. The Secretary established that a quorum existed per the bylaws, and the President sought approval of the minutes of the 58th Annual Business Meet- ing (1993) in St. Louis, these having been duly published in American Antiquity) [January 1994 59(1):186-192]. It was so moved, seconded, and these minutes were approved.

The President then delivered his report (hereafter, see), including a remark on a near-record conference attendance of 2,110. The President particularly recognized the work of the SAA committees and their accomplishments. Additionally, he announced the Archaeologists of the Americas directory, the Save the Past for the Future conference, and the 1996 SAA Annual Meeting schedule for New Orleans.

Treasurer Vincas Steponaitis then delivered his final report (hereafter, see), which showed significant gains in SAA revenues, a balanced budget, and important increases in the value of assets.

Secretary Bruce Rippeteau then delivered his report (hereafter, see), including the election of the incoming officers: President-elect, William Lipe; Executive Board position no. 1, Barbara Stark; Executive Board position no. 2, Catherine Cam- eron; and for the 1995 Nominating Committee, Lynne Sullivan and Larry Zimmerman, all to take office at the close of this meeting.

The Executive Director of SAA and an ex-officio board member, Ralph Johnson, delivered his report (hereafter, see), including the introduction of his staff members and their contributions to the daily SAA operations and this meeting.

Our three SAA editors, Michael Graves for American Antiquity, David Pendergast for Latin American Antiquity, and Mark Aldenderfer for the SAA Bulletin, all three being ex-officio board members, then reported (hereafter, see).

Aldenderfer spoke first and mentioned a possible page expansion of the SAA Bulletin and the

possibility that the September/October (and there- after) issues might be available on Internet and other future information distributions.

Graves spoke next about his first year as editor of American Antiquity, specifically noting that it was back on its publishing schedule after years of running behind. He reported significantly reducing the unpublished backlog of accepted manuscripts. He foresaw several future developments and announced that Teresita Majewski will be leaving as Managing Editor in the fall of 1994. Terry, who was present, received a good round of applause from the audience for her excellent work.

Pendergast reported on Latin American Anti- quitv's significant progress in the review of back- logged manuscripts and anticipated the journal would be published on time in the near future. He also spoke to initiatives to expand the availability of and utility to more Latin American scholars, some 45 percent of whom specialize in Andean topics and some 28 percent of whom concentrate on the Maya.

Following our customary agenda, we then received remarks from the Committee on Govern- ment Affairs, Dean Snow, chairman, and from our Washington representative, Loretta Neumann.

Snow's report, some nine pages, was earlier presented to the board (thereat, see), and copies were available. He spoke also briefly concerning antiquities enforcement. Neumann spoke to several issues including her memories of numerous current and past SAA officers and her role with them in antiquities enforcement and the current achievements of SAA. This upbeat report was ac- companied by handouts and sobering warnings about continuing threats to archaeological resources.

As the highlight of our Annual Business Meet- ing, President Smith presented a total of 26 awards, in three groups, for the Society for American Ar- chaeology [see American Antiquity 59:597-605. These are expanded from last year. The first, the Presidential Recognition Awards, were given to

ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING

Dave Brose, Ed Friedman, Bruce McMillan, Ter- esita Majewski, William Marquardt, Dan Morse, Daniel Rogers, Katharina Schreiber, Dean Snow, Vincas Steponaitis, and Paul Takac.

Second, President Smith presented our new SAA Excellence Awards: in Ceramic Studies to William Longacre and to Patricia Crown; in Lithic Studies to the late John Witthoff; and in Cultural Resource Management to Hester Davis.

Third, President Smith presented the Crabtree Award to Leland Patterson; the Dissertation Prize to Mary Van Buren, with a very close Honorable Mention to Stephen Epstein; the Fryxell Award to Garman Harbottle; the 1994 Poster Awards to, first, for a Professional/Non-Student, to George Milner and James Oliver, with Honorable Men- tion to Eric Blinman, Clint Swink, Lawrence Sit- ney, David Phillips, and Joel Brisbin, and, second, for a Student, to Alanah Woody, with Honorable Mention to Diane Winslow and Susan Edwards. At the request of the judges, a third poster award was also given: Outstanding Poster Symposium to Dennis Lewarch and Lynn Larson.

The Gene S. Stuart Award was given to Scott La Fee, and as the finale, our very special SAA Distinguished Service Award was presented to a very happy, indeed, Hester Davis.

New business consisted of special remarks by last year's 1993 recipient of the SAA Public Ser- vice Award, Constance Ramirez, who especially thanked SAA for the recognition it gave to her work with her colleagues and the contribution it makes to future teamwork within DOD-Army.

Ceremonial Resolutions, customarily presented in the Secretary's report (hereafter, see), were delivered by the Secretary on behalf of Chair John Miller, who was unable to attend but who had diligently prepared the thank you resolutions, for the Annual Meeting and for the service of members, and the condolences for our departed colleagues.

The 59th Annual Business Meeting was ad- journed at 6:23 p.m. by President Smith.

Bruce Rippeteau Secretary

Report of the President

I would like to welcome you to the 59th Annual Business Meeting of the Society for American Ar- chaeology.

I have asked the chairpersons of SAA's 36 committees and task forces to join the Executive Board

on the stage for the business meeting today. I has- ten to add that the committee chairs have not been asked to present committee reports.

I think that it is important for all of us to rec- ognize the hard work of the SAA committees and task forces. Each of these chairpersons has a committee behind them, with over 300 SAA members currently volunteering their time and talents in this manner.

The visual message here is that the affairs of the society are carried out by a collection of individ- uals representing a diverse array of interest groups and constituencies within archaeology who volunteer their considerable talents and energy to SAA. SAA members cycle on and off committees, just as the elected officers and Executive Board members do, providing the society with a diverse and constantly changing profile of leadership.

Balancing this grand cycling of people through the volunteer positions of SAA, Ralph Johnson and the staff at SAA's headquarters in Washington provide the corporate continuity and central struc- tural support of the society.

You will hear more about the activities of SAA's headquarters office during the report of the Ex- ecutive Director. Here I just want to urge you to introduce yourselves to the SAA staff members who are at the Disneyland meeting and be sure to stop by the membership booth in the exhibits area if you have not already done so.

Since last year's meeting in St. Louis, a number of SAA committee and task force initiatives de- serve special mention:

Due largely to the hard work of the SAA central office staff, SAA carried out the recommendation of Patty Jo Watson's Publications Committee by distributing over 100 sets of back issues of Amer- ican Antiquity around the world, to Native Amer- ican organizations, and to scholarly institutions. Given the mixed performance of the U.S. mails, however, we can't expect that all arrived safely.

SAA also recently entrusted to the U.S. mail its ballots and census forms. The information sheet in your registration packet from Melinda Zeder, chair of the SAA Membership Committee, details the inexcusable postal delays we encountered in the delivery of the census forms to you. Even given these problems, however, the response to the census has been remarkable, with more than 1,700 having been returned. Zeder and the Membership Committee, however, are still hoping for a larger data base to work with. If you have not yet filled out your census, please do so, and let us know if

185



AMERICAN ANTIQUITY

you need a form. Tabulation of the forms is well under way, and will provide the most compre- hensive profile of the profession ever assembled.

With National Science Foundation funding, co- chairs Mark Lynott and Alison Wylie of the SAA Ethics in Archaeology Committee held a conference on Ethical Issues in Archaeology in Novem- ber of last year. A general set of principles of archaeological ethics was developed, and these were further discussed during a sponsored forum held here yesterday. A formal report to the Executive Board, along with a series of position papers and publications, is forthcoming in this increasingly important arena of ethical issues in archaeology.

Linda Cordell's Task Force on Strategic Plan- ning also worked hard over the past year and has completed an excellent planning document to help chart the course of the society in the coming years.

Chaired by Robert Drennan, a new Task Force on Latin America has been formed and, with strong representation of archaeologists from Latin Amer- ican countries, will be working over the next year to identify a full spectrum of ways in which SAA can draw Latin Americans into greater partici- pation in the affairs of the Society for American Archaeology.

Also coming this year is the launching of a new SAA publication. In the summer of 1994, Ar- chaeologists of the Americas will be published. This new publication is more than a directory of SAA members. It will also include a listing of private sector firms offering archaeological services, university departments offering degree programs, and governmental and private museums and research units. While the first issue will not be all-inclusive, we hope within a few years to provide compre- hensive coverage of the Americas.

Coming up this fall, SAA will be hosting the Save the Past for the Future conference in either Breckenridge or Santa Fe in the third week of Sep- tember. Modeled on the very successful Taos anti- looting meeting held five years ago, the conference will address the current challenge of providing better protection for archaeological resources.

As of the start of this business meeting, a total of 2,104 people had registered for the Disneyland meeting of the SAA, bringing us within 36 of breaking the all-time New Orleans record of 2,140.

It is doubtful that southern California will hold the record for long, if we do surpass New Orleans tomorrow, since my final announcement is that the SAA Annual Meeting for 1996 will be held

from April 10 to 14 at the Marriott Hotel, adjacent to the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Bruce Smith

Report of the Treasurer

Over the past year, the Society for American Ar- chaeology has made remarkable progress in rees- tablishing its administrative structure after a (somewhat rocky) transition from the Bostrom Corporation. The new office is running smoothly and the new financial system is tracking our dollars very effectively. The credit for all this goes to Ralph Johnson, our new Executive Director, who has done many wonderful things for us in a very short time. We are lucky to have him.

I am pleased to report that the society's finances remain strong. We closed out our last fiscal year with an operating surplus of $11,368-a modest figure, but a happy one given the vicissitudes of our move and restructuring. This year we are again projecting a modest surplus, which I have every expectation we will achieve.

Our assets continue to grow. Over the last three fiscal years (from July 1, 1991, to June 30, 1993), SAA's net worth increased by 34 percent, our liq- uid reserves grew by 22 percent, and our endow- ment funds jumped by 44 percent-all this despite the transition to a new administrative office.

Even though we have consistently run surpluses in recent years, this trend may soon be reversed unless we take prudent action. Creeping inflation and falling interest rates are making it ever harder to keep our operations in the black. Cutting costs, adding new members, and finding new sources of non-dues revenue will help, as they have over the past few years. But a dues increase is probably inevitable in the not-too-distant future. If and when this increase comes, please remember that membership dues have not gone up since 1989, and that SAA has continued to deliver a very high level of service to its members.

In closing, I wish to express my gratitude to the members of the Finance Committee, to all SAA committee chairs, to the SAA office staff, and to my fellow board members for the help they have given me during my term in office. Having worked especially closely with Treasurer-elect Fred Limp over the past year, I can attest that Fred's repu- tation as a wizard with numbers is well deserved, and that the SAA's finances will soon be in very capable hands. I should also like to thank Dan

186 [Vol. 60, No. 1, 1995]




Roberts, chair of our Finance Committee, for his sage advice and uncommonly good sense. He has helped me a great deal, and has served the society well. But most of all, looking back over the past 10 years, I'd like to express my appreciation to Jerry Miller, our Executive Director Emeritus, who had the vision to see what SAA could become, and did more good things that I can possibly enu- merate to put us in a position to get there. Having finished my term as Treasurer, I can now see, more clearly than ever, the magnitude of the contributions that he made.

Vincas P. Steponaitis

Report of the Secretary

After one year as Secretary-elect and one year as Secretary, I am serving as the recording secretary at my first Annual Business Meeting, and I hereby thank my predecessors, most especially immediate past-Secretary Shereen Lerner, the SAA Executive Board, especially President Smith and Treasurer Steponaitis, and particularly SAA Executive Di- rector Ralph Johnson and the home office staff for their support.

Further, from personal knowledge, I call specific attention to the outstanding service of the SAA committee chairs and members for our strong committee structure and their abundant work this past year.

Normal secretarial business, including numerous interactions with members, has been con- ducted daily. Also prepared have been minutes from the Executive Board meetings and the An- nual Meeting; a synopsis of Executive Board actions for inclusion in the last SAA Bulletin, an enlarged directory of board and committee members, and a call for past officer, chair, and member files of SAA business to be archived.

Report of the Elections

Having been nominated by Chairman James Judge and his Nominations Committee (of Katharina Schreiber ex-officio, Kate Spielmann, Harry Sha- fer, Wes Cowan, and Tom Green), and having been subjected to vote and being elected, and hereafter this meeting taking office, are:

President-elect: William Lipe Secretary-elect: Keith Kintigh Board Position No. 1: Barbara Stark (replacing

William Marquardt who has served faithfully since 1991)

Board Position No. 2: Catherine Cameron (replacing Katherine Schreiber who has served faithfully since 1991)

1995 Nominating Committee Member: Lynne Sullivan

1995 Nominating Committee Member: Larry Zimmerman

There were no other ballot matters in this election.

A total of 1,348 SAA members voted with ballots postmarked on or before March 16, 1994, thus being valid. A total of 115 ballots were invalid because they were postmarked after that deadline; were they counted, however, they would not have changed the results. The total number of ballots received (1,463) is 31 percent of the paid SAA memberships as of March 16, 1994, compared to 30 percent in 1992 and 31 percent in 1993.

It is traditional secretarial courtesy not to state publicly the vote totals, but such information is a matter of record for any member so desiring. Fur- ther, I thank Ralph Johnson and his staff for as- sisting, by secretarial delegation, in the elections procedures and tally.

Report of the Ceremonial Resolutions

Resolutions of the 59th Annual Meeting were ad- vanced by the chair of Ceremonial Resolutions Jon Muller, and being presented by the Secretary on behalf of Dr. Muller, and on their recommendation, these being adopted by the Annual Meet- ing, are:

(1) Be it resolved that the appreciation and con- gratulations on a job well done be tendered to

a) retiring officer Treasurer Vincas Steponaitis and retiring board members William Marquardt and Katharina Schreiber, and others who have served the society on its committees and in other ways;

b) to the Program Committee, chaired by J. Daniel Rogers, assistant program chairs Mary Goodman, Michael Kruse, and Jane McMullan; reviewers Jeanne Arnold, Timothy Baugh, James Brown, Karen Dohm, Elizabeth Graham, Ramiro Amatos, Katherine Spielman, Patricia Watten- maker, and Samuel Wilson;

c) to the Local Arrangements Committee chaired by Glenn Russell, and to Executive Director Ralph Johnson and his staff who planned the meeting,

187



AMERICAN ANTIQUITY

and to all the volunteers who worked at registration and other tasks;

(2) And be it further resolved that thanks again be given to those who inform us of the deaths of colleagues, and finally,

(3) A Resolution of Sympathy to the families and friends of James Bennyhoff, Sally Binford, Rupert Bruce-Mitford, Luther S. Cressman, Franklin Fenega (a founder of SAA), Maria Gim- butas, Donald A. Graybill, John W. Griffin, Wil- liam Curry Holden, Harold A. Huscher, John Hys- lop, Pal Kelemen, Kenneth E. Kidd, Alex Moeketse Matseka. David Andrew Peterson, J. Reynold Ruppe, Howard Sargent, Carlyle Shreeve Smith, Samuel Watson Smith, Richard Francis Strong Star, Gene Stuart, Jane Strickland Stuart, Robert L. Van Nice, Patrick C. Vaughan, Tryge Widen, Arnold Moore Withers, and John Witthoff.

The members rose for a moment of silence in honor of our departed colleagues.

Bruce Rippeteau

Report of the Executive Director

Good afternoon. After seeing your names on mailing labels or hearing your voices through the tele- phone, it is indeed a pleasure to actually see you and have the opportunity to talk with you in person.

I'd like to give you a brief update on the society's headquarters office in Washington-not its phys- ical space, which is pleasant enough, but on the staff who inhabit it and work on your behalf each day. You've undoubtedly seen members of the staff here at the meeting; if the staff ribbon didn't tip you off, the radio antennas probably did. The obvious reason for staff presence here is to assure that the logistics of this meeting run as flawlessly as possible. But the added benefit of our presence is the ability to meet you, to address your questions and concerns, to expand our understanding of your needs and interests, and to enhance our appreciation of archaeology in the Americas.

The staff that serves you is, as a group, enthu- siastic, service-oriented, and energetic. It is my great pleasure to work with them each day on the array of challenges and requests and demands gen- erated by a 5,000-member organization and an evolving society. I am pleased to introduce them to you, and ask that they stand as I call their names: Sarah Bayne, administrative assistant; Brighid Brady-de Lambert, manager of membership services; Elaine Talbott, manager of accounting ser-

vices; Janet Walker, manager of publications; and David Whitlock, director of finance and administration.

We appreciate the opportunity to be involved with a society that is vital and thriving. It is indeed a pleasure to work with an organization that en- gages our skills in extremely satisfying ways. I hope you will contact us to communicate your thoughts about the society and how we can support your efforts to sustain the society and fulfill its mission. Thank you.

Ralph Johnson

Report of the Editor American Antiquity

Two primary objectives have guided my first year as Editor. First, I was determined to bring the journal's publication and distribution back to the schedule we advertise to our subscribers and members (i.e., January, April, July, and October). I am pleased to announce that the April 1994 issue is being mailed as I write this; the January 1994 issue was mailed the last week of that month. I intend to adhere to the published schedule for the duration of my term, and to work with the incoming Editor on maintaining the production schedule. Second, given the constraints on the journal's growth and due to a backlog of papers, obituaries, and book reviews that had been waiting to be published, I have attempted to use the pages of Amer- ican Antiquity to their maximum extent for the publication of scholarly material. In practical terms, this meant the temporary publishing suspension of Current Research with the January 1994 issue. I have also reduced the number of pages for the Editor's Corner. In the past year, by devoting a few more pages per issue to book reviews I have reduced the backlog of these materials. We are now printing reviews of books published in 1993. I have placed the obituaries and historical or au- tobiographical papers on a firm schedule and established guidelines for publishing obituaries. This has been accomplished with the help of Douglas Givens, the Associate Editor. By early in 1995, the backlog of obituaries should be reduced. In the past year the number of pages devoted to scholarly papers has been increased by 8 percent, and is likely to increase by this amount again in the next year. The backlog of papers I inherited, some whose first submission dated to the early 1990s, has now disappeared.

With these actions the most pressing concerns

188 [Vol. 60, No. 1, 1995]




facing the journal have been resolved. In the coming year, there are several new objectives I have set for myself. First, the turnaround time between initial submission and decision to publish remains too long (it is approximately five to six months on average). I intend to achieve a three-month turnaround to decision. The time to publication, iron- ically, is now only about six months, suggesting that it may soon be possible to have papers submitted and published within a year's duration. Second, with the approval of the new SAA logo, it is time to implement it (and the new font) in the journal. This will also be an opportunity to effect additional design changes in the journal. We have completed a few of these already-mostly affecting the inside covers, the masthead pages, and the references. Third, there are several aspects of the reviewing process that can be refined, including reworking the reviewer comment sheets and computerizing the list of potential reviewers (and their addresses and specialties).

Finally the quality of the journal continues to be an important matter for all concerned. The re- jection rate runs about 50 percent and another 20 percent of the papers I return for revisions are never returned to the journal in revised form. While I believe we publish high-quality papers, there continues to be an under-representation in the di- versity of areas and topics with which subscribers and members identify. I have accepted several papers for publication that pertain to areas outside North America, but would also like to publish on topics not generally covered in the journal.

Much of my work the past one and one-half years has been made easier by outgoing Managing Editor Teresita Majewski. Her work on behalf of the journal should be recognized by SAA. I thank her for showing me the ropes.

Report of the Editor Latin American Antiquity

Judging by almost all of its vital signs, Latin Amer- ican Antiquity is in excellent health. We continue to receive manuscripts in quantity, with a total for the year of 68. The most heartening aspect of this figure is that the number submitted by Latin American scholars is on the rise. There has also been an increase in the number of countries rep- resented, owing partly to the growing recognition of the journal as an important outlet for Latin American studies and partly to the efforts of a number of North American archaeologists to drum

up trade among their Latin American colleagues. Furthermore, our subscription rate stands at about 1,050, a very respectable figure for a journal of such tender years, and a total well above early projections. All of these lines of evidence show unmistakably that the journal is clearly serving one of the major purposes for which it was found- ed.

At the same time, however, the subscription evidence shows that a second goal of equal importance has not yet been met. The total of 107 individual and institutional subscriptions for Lat- in America is far too low to make Latin American Antiquity an effective means of communication throughout the Americas. We continue to seek means to lower Latin American rates even further, but there is no question that even drastically low- ered rates would remain beyond the reach of many of our fellow archaeologists. We, therefore, hope to find additional ways to increase the subscription list in Latin American countries, and I would welcome any suggestions you may have regarding a solution to this pressing problem. Finally, I wish to advise you that on the basis of my year's ex- perience in the copyediting and rewrite trade, I intend to recommend to the society that it estab- lish a pair of awards: Prince and Princess of the Dangling Participle. I can guarantee a steady stream of highly qualified candidates.

Report of the Editor SAA Bulletin

I will keep my comments brief and to the point. We have made a number of changes in the Bulletin over the past year, and I hope they meet with your approval. We've made a serious effort to develop a distinctive style of presentation, but perhaps more importantly, we have expanded the offerings of the Bulletin to provide you with more information and better services. Among our innovations have been to add a "Letters to the Editor" section, the "Working Together" column, which explores ways in which archaeologists and native peoples in the Americas can find useful and productive ways to study the past in a mutually beneficial manner, the "Dialogues-Interamerican Exchanges" column, which provides a forum for our Latin American colleagues to discuss issues of importance to the development of archaeology in their countries, and to provide expanded coverage of public education affairs within archaeology. We have also sought out articles and stories we think are of general

189



AMERICAN ANTIQUITY

interest to our membership. One thing that will not change, however, is the central mission of the Bulletin, which is to provide timely reporting on the activities of the society and its many interests. Finally, we've tried very hard to make sure the Bulletin appears in a timely manner. Unfortu- nately, we are still captives of the U.S. Postal Ser- vice, but it is my understanding that the society is looking for ways to speed the Bulletin to you once it has been published.

Over the next year, I hope to explore a number of new avenues for the Bulletin in hopes of making it even more valuable to you. Although not yet certain, it appears that we will be able to increase the size of the Bulletin from 24 to 28 pages. Much of this new space will be devoted to improved coverage of society business. I also intend to get the Bulletin on-line and available to you in an electronic manner. Whether we like it or not, the future is here, and it is time for the society to explore means by which member services and information can be delivered via the Internet. While I realize that many of you do not have access to the Internet right now, most of you will have it in the next few years, and you will begin to rely upon it as a major means by which you obtain information. Later this year I will get the Bulletin on- line to those with Internet access. The initial ver- sions will be in the form of a gopher, but in the not-too-distant future, I hope to offer the Bulletin

in World Wide Web format. While the electronic version will never replace, at least for most of us, the printed page, it is nevertheless a future we should be looking toward.

Yet another of my goals is to find ways in which to make the Bulletin valuable for members, not just those who live only in North America and are the only ones at present who receive it. On a number of fronts, the society is exploring ways in which to truly become the premier archaeological society of the Americas, and to do that, we must find effective ways to communicate with our colleagues in Latin America. One of my earliest efforts in this direction was to create the "Dialogues" column. One really exciting development is the very real possibility that the society will be able to offer all members the Bulletin as part of their membership, no matter where they live. In conjunction with the SAA Task Force on Latin American Affairs, head- ed by Dick Drennan, I am exploring ways to make the Bulletin useful and informative to our Latin colleagues.

In summary, I have enjoyed working on the Bulletin very much, and I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish. Remember, though, the Bulletin is yours, and please send me recom- mendations, complaints, or even praise so we can better serve you in the future.
