October, 2010 Chapter Newsletter excerpts

*******************************************
President’s Message:  

            Our chapter’s fall schedule continues to be very active with several activities available for members to choose from. Once again Gander Mountain was a success and continues to draw new members thanks to the efforts of Kevin Storms. Chuck Tudor is finalizing the annual dinner in November which will be held on Sunday the 21st. Stephanie Tice is continuing the work at the Florist site and offers members a chance to experience archaeology in the field. I hope you can join us at these events.

Directions To The Fountains:

If you are coming to the dinner these are the best directions that I have found. If you live in Montgomery come the back way from 17K but if not: You need to get on Route 17West to exit 119. Those coming from Middletown or Rt. 84 will get to 17west at the Gallaria Exit. Getting off at this exit (119) turn left onto route 302 south (8/10 mi). Turn right onto 17M, proceed 8/10 mi. Turn right on Sands Rd. for 1/2mi. The Fountains is at the Wallkill Country Club on the right.

Dr. John Hart, Research and Collections Divisions, NY State Museum, Albany, has done extensive research on Native American plants and crops. Some of his publications include Crop Domestication in Prehistoric Eastern North America, The History of the Three Sisters, and Maize, Matrilocality, Migration, and Northern Iroquoian Evolution. Most recently he presented at the 2010 NY State Archaeological Meeting on his article "The Death of Owasco" which was published in American Antiquity. This research challenges former State Archaeologist, William A. Richie in defining the Owasco Tradition.

             According to the poll taken during the last meeting there is enough interest in a car pool to Mashantucket Pequot Native American Museum, near the Foxwoods Resort Casino. We will try to come up with a date at the next meeting.
