On Saturday November 7 the Mid-Potomac Chapter of ASM and Montgomery County Parks Archaeology hosted the 2020 Fall Archeology Society of Maryland, Inc Fall Meeting. The entire meeting was held via Zoom but the individual presentations were also streamed live on the Mid-Potomac Chapter's Facebook Page.
The Fall Meeting started with
the Annual ASM Business Meeting that also included the presentation of the 2020 William B Mayre
Award to Nancy Geasey. (Congratulations to Nancy)
The election results were also reported -- President: Claude Bowen; Vice-President: Valerie Hall; Membership Secretary: Ethan Bean; Secretary: Barbara Israel; Treasurer: Elaine Hall Chhean; At-large Trustees: Lynne Bulhack, Brent Chippendale, Aaron Jarvis, Don Housley, Jim Gibb, Katherine Fernstrom (https://marylandarcheology.org/contact.html).
But the highlight of the ASM meetings are the talks. This year in recognition of the 100th anniversary of women
receiving the right to vote by the passage of the 19th Amendment to the
Constitution, the
presentations focused on the various roles and contributions women have
and continue to
make to Maryland Archaeology.
