I’ll be at the meeting working on behalf of the magazine, and seeking materials for upcoming issues. If you’ve organized a ses-sion for the meetings (paper or poster presentations) and think the topic might be appropriate for a forum, or if you are an individual presenter and think your paper might be well suited for publication in The SAA Archaeological Record , please feel free to contact me in advance of the meetings, and I’ll try to stop by your presentation or session. My email is jbaxter@depaul.edu and I’d be more than happy to hear from you! The contents of this issue are diverse, but include several items from the SAA and its committees. The report of the Conferencia Intercontinental, an article by the editor of f American Antiquity , a request for member input on ethics reform from the Committee on Ethics, another contribution to the Careers in Archaeology series by the Public Edu-cation Committee, and an article on women directing field projects sponsored by COSWA are all examples of how SAA Committees and volunteers are addressing issues of concern to our diverse membership. I’ve been working with our committees and volunteers to increase organizational presence in the magazine, both through our regular Volunteer Profile column, and through articles and issues that illustrate the work of our committees to the membership. If you know someone who volunteers for the SAA and would like to see them featured in the volunteer profile column, or if there is an issue relating to the work of the SAA or one of its committees that you’d like to learn more about, please contact me with your suggestions. Finally, I’d like to thank Debra Martin and Ryan Harrod for the exemplary job they’ve done as guest editors in this two-part special forum on New Directions in Bioarchae-ology. Bioarchaeology has a growing profile in our discipline, and the techniques and perspectives of this area of specialization are pushing archaeological inquiry in excit-ing new directions. This forum is designed to showcase some of the broad thematic areas where bioarchaeologists are focusing their interests and energies, and offer those of us outside the specialization an excellent introduction to this area of research. Thanks to both Debra and Ryan for suggesting this topic, and for working so diligent-ly to bring an excellent collection of papers together. I am sure you’ll enjoy the contri-butions this month, and in the upcoming May issue. 2 The SAA Archaeological Record • March 2012
