These are the 2006 Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) News Bulletins with activities of the society for that year. In 2006 our SPSCC students and Tribal leaders talked about our presentation on Qwu?gwes at an International Wetland Conference in Edinburgh Scotland. We also continued talks at REI featuring the rescue work with the Lower Elwha S'Klallam, entitled: “Update on the Important Tse-whit-zen Archaeological Site (PA Graving Yard) the latest Efforts to Move Ahead.” Additionally, we had a talk on the Wenas Mammoth excavations in eastern Washington, we did a stone tool making workshop at the Squaxin Museum, and we conducted our summer excavations at the Qwu?gwes wet site in Olympia 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.
