These are the 2002 Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) News Bulletins with activities of the society for that year. In 2002 we had a busy year with talks on the archaeology of the Kuril Islands, Russia, work to create 3-D images of Haida Villages, the 10,700 year old wet site on Haida Gwaai, and thousands of fish trap stacks on the Hoquiam River, WA. The updates on excavating the Mud Bay/Qwu?gwes archaeological wet site in Olympia with South Puget Sound Community College and the Squaxin Island Tribe included more basketry, nets, knives and blanket pins. We also began planning, with PNWAS as critical volunteers, an International Wet Sites Conference at South Puget Sound Community College for April of 2003. 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.
