Abstract
These are the 2000 Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) News Bulletins with activities of the society for that year. In 2000, presentations were stopped face-to-face because of the COVID epidemic. We switched to online Zoom PNWAS meetings after one talk at the Seattle Mountaineers auditorium on BC Salish archaeology. Zoom talks continued with the theme of First Peoples in the Americas, including talks on late-glacial floods in the Chehalis River drainage and evidence of people in our region 14-15,000 years ago at Paisley Cave, Oregon. One advantage of having Zoom meetings was being able to bring in speakers from across the country and, in fact, the world.
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.
