Extract

For nearly six decades the small, or originally small, conference on the archaeology of a particular region has been of growing importance in the North American archaeological community's system of communication. By 1952, Erik K. Reed could state that,

In addition to national meetings, such as that of the Society [for American Archaeology] . . . regional conferences are continuing to develop and gain in importance. Five such gatherings are mentioned in this issue [of American Antiquity]: the Northwest Conference, Seattle . . . ; the Ninth Plains Conference, Lincoln . . .; the Caddoan Workshop, Norman . . .; the Southeastern Conference, to be at Macon . . . ; the 1952 Pecos Conference . . . to be at Santa Fe . .. . These have become more productive and better attended than Divison meetings of the A.A.A.S., or many of the larger or national conventions [Reed 1952:89].
