A BIG "THANK YOU" TO ALL OUR VISITORS FOR MAKING THIS SITE A SUCCESS!
Be sure to thank Jim Roberson for putting together an informative newsletter and adding special web articles.
Great job, Jim!
It has been my pleasure serving as your webmaster. Here's to our next 5 YEARS!
Look for several new additions to our website in the near future.
My best, Paula Grabin
It has come to my attention that Google Search Engine is currently listing our website as possibly being compromised.
I have scanned all the files within our site (12,716) by using Kaspersky Internet Security and no threats have been discovered.
All the markup/coding for our site main pages have been visually inspected (by yours truly) and no tampering issues are evident.
I do recommend that everyone who surfs the Net protect their personal PC/Mac with current Internet Security software for your own safety. Any web surfing is not without risk, so please assume responsibility for your privacy and security by actively using a virus/malware program. Our site contains no access to members' vital personal/financial information, so no breaches of that nature are at issue.
I can assure you that surfing our site is perfectly safe and have contacted Google to explore any security issues they may discover and hope that this notification will be removed from our site listing ASAP.
I have added a new selection in the navigation bar, SPOTLIGHT.
This page will feature the articles and photos that have appeared on the HOME page.
Newsletter Archives: we now have archived newsletters from 2009-2011.
MEMBERS: please consider opting for a "paperless" newsletter. You can sign up at a show to receive an email notifying you that the new issue is available online. (See the membership table or Jim Roberson.)
If you choose to go "paperless", check your inbox for an e-newsletter update reminder shortly before each show or simply visit us on the web. Print subscribers should know that photos are ONLY available to view online.
The "paperless" option only affects HSAS newsletter delivery. You will continue to receive Cental States journals by standard mail.

Dr. Thomas Loebel has launched a fluted point survey website. You can visit his site through this link: Illinois and Wisconsin Fluted Point Survey
A link image will be located on the Newsletter links sidebar for the duration of the project.
Note: You may also be able to connect with Tom at various artifact shows. Please check with him to verify his attendance.
As collectors, you may be able to contribute valuable data for Tom's study.
The information gathered during this survey is an attempt to synthesize information that is rare and dispersed across many different collections. It is important to gather this information together in order to get the bigger picture of how humans were adapting to this region at the end of the ice age. This can only be accomplished through your cooperation and continued dedication to archaeology.
Possession of artifacts is not the question here. Recording the information and what they can tell us is.
Specific site locations will remain confidential. However, I do encourage that sites be reported to the state where they will be assigned a number and given at least minimal protection from possible future disturbances.
If you have any Fluted Points in your collection, broken or whole, or know of someone who does, please contact me.
