These are the 2000 Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) News Bulletins with activities of the society for that year. In 2000 we began a summer field school excavating the Mud Bay/Qwu?gwes archaeological wet site in Olympia with South Puget Sound Community College and the Squaxin Island Tribe. Members were invited to volunteer and several spent considerable time with us over the next 11 years of excavation. As can be seen by the News Bulletins, we found a preserved bark fiber gill net the first season (1999) which was a good kickoff for the joint project. We also heard about Easter Island, European Rock Art, and the Kennewick Man. 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.
