Annual Meeting Schedule Changes

---

Due the the blizzard that hit Boston on January 4th, numerous presenters have had difficulties travelling to the meeting.  While many participants will still be arriving in time to present their papers, others will be unable to attend in person.  Several session have had to be canceled and we are trying to reschedule two others.  Many presenters have been able to forward their papers to other scholars to read at the conference, but some paper will not be able to be presented.  Below is a list of all the changes that the AIA is aware of.  If you are a meeting presenter who will not be able to make it to Boston to present and cannot find a replacement, please mail Kevin Mullen (kmullen@archaeological.org) to be included on the list below.
