These are the 2003 Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) News Bulletins with activities of the society for that year. In 2003 we had a busy year, especially since we held, with PNWAS as the critical volunteers, an International Wet Sites Conference called the 10th International Wetlands Archaeological Research Project (WARP): Wet Sites Connections--Linking Indigenous Histories, Archaeology and the Public. The conference was held at South Puget Sound Community College, Olympia, WA, on August 1-4, 2003. The program went very well with over 106 presenters from England, Ireland, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Japan, Canada and the US. The wet site at Qwu?gwes was featured with a session presented by students and a site visit in the rain! The PNWAS volunteers helped with registration and monitoring conference rooms (thank you!). We also continued excavations at the Qwu?gwes wet site with PNWAS volunteers. 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.
