Special
congratulations to Rachel Roberts and Victoria
Villescas, who wrote terrific BA theses and graduated
with Departmental Honors. Rachel is off
for an internship in Peru this summer, then on to the University
of Leicester for an MA in The Anthropology of Museums. Victoria
is taking a year off, during which she will prepare for at
least one and maybe two advanced degrees – a MD and a PhD
in Anthropology!

– Let us hear from you! Anton
Hoffman writes: “Since I left Denver I have lived
and worked in the northeast, Wyoming , the Great Basin and
California . I am currently living in Reno where I have
a job with Applied Earthworks' Hemet , CA office. They
have a long-term project doing CRM inventories and monitoring
tree-cutting in the San Bernardino Mountains for the Natural
Resources Conservation Service. They're field smart,
a quality lacking in many of the people I've worked for in
the past. (I had one supervisor who bid a steep mountain
survey as if the terrain were as flat as the map of the project
area and couldn't understand why the survey was taking twice
as long as it was budgeted for!) This past fall I worked for
Louis Berger Associates as the project photographer and artifact
cataloguer on a site in Carson City . It was a pit house
village, probably ancestral Washoe, and is one of those exciting
sites that everyone wants to be associated with. Some
of the artifacts recovered are rather rare in the Great Basin
. Half the village was completely burned, so there should
be good carbon dating. The assemblage seems to span
about 3,000 years of occupation and should help with our understanding
of changes in projectile point technology since there were
some very small Elko points recovered.” And Terri

she works for the Historic Preservation Office out of the
