These are the 2025 Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society (PNWAS) News Bulletins with activities of the society for that year. In 2025, we switched to online Zoom PNWAS meetings and these were all uploaded to our YouTube channel. We continued with the theme of First Peoples in the Americas, including talks about the diet of America’s First Peoples (they ate a lot of mammoth!) and the new book THE FIVE MILLION YEAR ODYSSEY: The Human Journey from Ape to Agriculture. We also heard about the aftermath of Typhoon Halong—the community rescuing eroded ancient wood and fiber artifacts from a Yup'ik village, AK—and the new book “Living-Off-The-Land” for 4,000 Years on the Northwest Coast, and about 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.
