The ACZ Workshop will be held February 27, 2008 , in Anchorage , Alaska , the day before the Alaska Anthropological Association meetings. This year the topic is:
Identification of Antler, Bone, and Ivory
You may want to bring samples you are trying to identify. Be careful about transporting ivory on the planes, and please don't transport it across the border unless you have all the appropriate information.

Please register early so we know how many to expect.

The 2007 Workshop was held in Fairbanks. Lee Post was our guest instructor and showed the participants how to make laboratory specimens. Everybody worked on a beaver because there wasn't enough time for each person to assemble a skeleton on their own.
