Listserv members;

Chuck James, archaeologist with BIA, has passed on the very sad news that James T.  (Jim) Rock, 68,  passed away on Friday, June 25, 2010, after a four-month battle with cancer.  

Jim had retired from the U.S. Forest Service but continued to share his expertise in the analysis  of historic artifacts with the archaeological community as well as participating numerous training workshops in both Washington and Oregon until his health began to fail.  

A memorial will be held in Yreka at a later date to be announced.  

He is survived by his wife, Mary Ellen Rock.  

Condolences can be sent to:
Mary Ellen Rock
