ome join us on June 21, 2016 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the ERCI Headquarters – 1229 Cleveland Avenue in Mount Vernon, for an informal gathering sponsored by the Association for Washington Archaeology. Our guest speaker will be Whitney Osienski, who will discuss fine-grained volcanic lithics. The AWA will provide coffee and light snacks at the regional meeting and adjourn to a local pub for no host drinks and dinner.

The object of the AWA is to preserve intact archaeological sites that are constantly under threat due to development, natural erosion and looting. Once disturbed, vital information that could be gleaned from the site vanishes. The AWA strives to safeguard information that sites yield.
