The CTA Executive Committee has decided to move the fall meeting, scheduled for October 1, 2021, to a virtual format only in light of the rapidly increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Texas.

More information and a Zoom link will be emailed to members closer to the meeting time.

The Texas Archeological Society is moving their annual meeting to an all virtual event rather than hold an in-person or hybrid event. At our spring meeting, the CTA collectively agreed to hold the fall meeting in-person in conjunction with the TAS meeting, so this move impacts the CTA’s meeting plans.

The CTA Executive Committee has discussed several options with a focus on having an in-person component to the fall meeting. With that in mind, the CTA is planning to hold its fall meeting on Friday, October 1, 2021 at Camp Mabry in Austin. The meeting with consist of a business meeting in the morning followed by an afternoon training session and social.

The CTA is also currently investigating ways to accommodate requests to present the meeting virtually for those unable to attend in-person. 

More details will be provided over the summer.

The following survey is seeking input regarding the creation of an association of archeological repositories. They are especially interested in hearing from a wide variety of stakeholders, including tribal employees/descendant communities; archaeologists who create collections (e.g, field archaeologists), those who prepare collections for curation; those who manage collections in the repository; and those who use collections (e.g., researchers, educators). Please consider participating!

Survey closes on June 30th. https://1gu5kdr2cg3.typeform.com/to/sDd76SW6
