These are the 2023 Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) News Bulletins with activities of the society for that year. In 2023, we switched to online Zoom PNWAS meetings and we continued with the theme of First Peoples in the Americas. Presentations included talks on finding submerged sites on the Pacific Northwest coast; Mammoth hunters on the High Plains; the story of oysters in the Pacific Northwest; evidence of early peoples at Cooper's Ferry, Idaho; the oldest human artifacts (18,000 years old) and camel teeth at Rimrock Draw Rockshelter, Oregon; and a summer campout at the Hoko River Mouth Retreat. 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.
