[OR_Archaeology] Archaeology Roadshow

[John Pouley]

Portland area archaeo-crowd a chance to come together, build community,
etc.

I am requesting two things:  First, that you help promote this in your
own
social orbits--please see the attached a flier that you can post and
share.
Second--if you'd like to volunteer to help with this, be an "expert"
or
help "man" one of the activity tables that we are putting together, it
would be great to have you here.  Please contact me, Virginia Butler (
virginia at pdx.edu; 503.725.3303) to let me know how you'd like to get
involved.

Many thanks for  your time and attention,
Virginia Butler

the free, *Archaeology Roadshow*, Saturday, March 24th, from 10:00 to

local
archaeology projects.  Come for 5 minutes or stay the whole time, and
