These are the 1996 Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) News Bulletins with activities of the society for that year. 1996 included talks held at U.S. West Auditorium in downtown Seattle mostly emphasizing our early Circum-Pacific archaeology and evolution. Talks included themes on the book End of Evolution, the East Wenatchee Clovis site, and 9,000-year-old Kennewick Man. There were lots of fieldtrips, including visits to CWU CHIMPosium, artist/author Hilary Stewart on Quadra Island, B.C., and the Manis Mastodon Site in Sequim, WA. Workshops included working with master basketmaker Hazel Pete at her home on Chehalis Reservation. We have included a spreadsheet for each year of PNWAS and attached News Bulletins for that year to document our 40-year history. As Director, Dale Croes compiled each of these News Bulletins. As originally stated in our founding in 1985, the Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) is a membership organization that “offers a means for individuals and organizations to declare their support for the preservation of the rich archaeological resources in our region and help to bring public archaeology programs to people of the Pacific Northwest. Benefits of membership include timely information on Northwest archaeological research, a bi-monthly lecture series and opportunity to participate in professionally supervised research in the Northwest.” PNWAS was incorporated as a non-profit organization in the state of Washington and has remained true to these original objectives. Dale Croes remained the Executive Director throughout these 40 years, with a President, Vice-President and other Officers on the Board. The best way to view the overall history of PNWAS activities is to review the PNWAS News Bulletins, 1985-2025.
