CALL FOR PAPERS

27^th ANNUAL HIGHLANDS CONFERENCE

 FRIENDS OF STERLING FOREST

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2013

115 OLD FORGE ROAD, TUXEDO, NY

Over the past two years the Highlands have witnessed significant negative impacts to natural and cultural resources.  A gas company is expanding its existing R.O.W. from the Delaware to the Hudson.  Trees have been cut down, flora “grubbed” out, old foundations bulldozed as trenches are dug to lay pipe to run “fracking” gas through our area.  

Groups such as our four sponsors and others such as the Ramapough Lenape Indian Nation and the Ramapough Conservancy keep our heritage in the public eye.  The Highlands Conference, free to the public, presents our rich cultural history--Native American, colonial, and post-colonial, reminding all of what is once again threatened.  

Please join us by presenting your research.  Presenters will have an opportunity to interact with archaeologists, historians and attendees, hear other presenters, and discuss threats, progress, persistence and preservation.  Presentations  should be no more than 25 minutes long and may be illustrated with slides or other graphic materials.  A PowerPoint projector is available.  

Kindly submit a title and abstract to Edward J. Lenik, Program Chair, via email at edlenik@hotmail.com or snail mail at Edward J. Lenik at 100 Deerfield Road, Wayne, NJ 97470-6414 by September 1, 2013 to be considered for the program.  Please include your affiliation and a brief biography.

Questions?  Call Ed Lenik at 973-835-0770 between 9AM and 4PM Monday through Friday.

REGISTRATION:  The conference is free and open to the public.  No registration is necessary.  Traditionally, the conference begins with a morning field trip followed by an afternoon of papers.

BOOKROOM:  The sponsoring organizations will have books on historical and archaeological topics for sale. 

NO Florist Site Dig this weekend, nor next!

We won't be digging the Florist Site this weekend (7 July) as I have some family obligations I must attend to, and that we won't be digging next weekend  (14 July) either due to our picnic!
