Abstract
These are the 1998 Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) News Bulletins with activities of the society for that year. 1998 saw a move for PNWAS talks from U.S. West Auditorium to the flagship REI store auditorium in downtown Seattle. Also it was the first year that a Society for American Archaeology (SAA) conference took place in Seattle so we had a linked talk on the extinction of mammoths (along the lines of our early theme with the Chehalis River Hypothesis) with a great panel of experts, which was in walking distance of the REI auditorium. We also had a field trip to Tillicum Village to hear Dr. Roy Carlson (SFU) and Bill Holm (UW) talk about the evolution of Northwest Coast Art. And activity director, Vern Hodgson led a group of members to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) to see an Early Human Evolution exhibition.
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.
