The e-mail below from Chris Fennell is directly related to next Tuesday's Mound
City Archaeological Society (MCAS) lecture. That lecture is also one of our
contributions to Missouri Archaeology Month (MAM). For a list of all of the MAM
activities, please visit http://coas.missouri.edu/mas/archmonth/moarchmonth.html
.

FYI, we'll also have copies of this year's MAM posters available at this
lecture. Fellow Mound Citizen and MCAS secretary, Dr. Tim Baumann, was
instrumental in coordinating yet another successful Missouri Archaeology Month.
Kudos to Tim!

Hoping to see you all next Tuesday, if not sooner,

Greg
