The Society for Hawaiian Archaeology 2010 Annual Conference will be held from Friday, October 15, through Sunday, October 17. The conference will be hosted at the Aston Aloha Beach Hotel (http://www.alohabeachresortkauai.com/) in Wailuanuiaho‘ano, Kaua‘i (3-5920 Kuhio Hwy, Kapa‘a, HI 96746), adjacent to the Wailua River and Lydgate Park.
A call for papers will be forthcoming. Jenny Kahn has graciously accepted the duty of session organizer.
Also, we have reserved a small block of rooms at the Aston Aloha Beach Hotel. Our group discount rate is $80 per night for a standard room (sleeps 2-4). The reserved rate is good only up to 30 days before our conference (not after Sept. 14), and also applies three days prior and after our conference date.
Call (808) 823-6000 for reservations (Monday – Friday from 8am - 4pm HST) and mention that you are attending the Society for Hawaiian Archaeology conference so you will receive our group discount rate.
Field trips are being discussed and we are open to suggestions as to where our members might want to visit on Kaua‘i. Perhaps some of our CRM members who work on Kaua‘i could kokua here. Some suggestions have been Ke‘e and Limahuli, Nu‘alolo Kai, Makauwahi Cave, National Tropical Botanical Garden (new research library), the archives of Kaua‘i (Kaua‘i Historical Society, Kaua‘i Museum, Grove Farm Museum), and/or ???????
We are also looking for a few student volunteers to help with the registration tables etc. Volunteers will have their conference fees waived, and I have an extra hotel room that could be available for student sharing. Please contact me if you are interested.
More information will be emailed on the SHA listserve and website as it becomes available. Please email Victoria Wichman if you have any questions. Email: victoria.wichman@gmail.com
Looks like it’s shaping up to be a great conference!
