You'll also notice that we've expanded the Bulletin substantially, at least for this issue, to include the report of the Annual Business Meeting (usually published in American Antiquity at a date far removed from the meeting itself), a review of the awards delivered at the meeting, various committee reports, the usual run of columns, and an advertising centerfold to assist you in your Christmas (or anytime) shopping.
Finally, I'd like to thank John Kantner and Valerie Olson, both graduate students in anthropology at UCSB, for their outstanding work on the Bulletin during my absence. Thanks guys!
