Occasional Papers Series

I am pleased to hear that the Occasional Papers Series will be continued.  If we are to be serious contributors to New York State Archaeology we must publish our findings.  This series was founded with the idea that everyone could contribute.  You need not be a skilled writer, you only need to be factual and The Chapter Editor will help you prepare your paper.   The reporting of a single artifact is perfectly acceptable.   The papers should be about Orange County sites and artifacts or about closely related areas such as, for example,  the Upper Delaware River Valley or the entire Wallkill River drainage area.  

I strongly encourage every member to try his hand and be rewarded by seeing his paper published.  

Sincerely,

Harold R. Decker, Member, IOCCNYSAA
