Society for American Archaeology

President Rice opened the 57th Annual Business Meeting at 5:40 P.M. on April 10, 1992, and asked for the approval of the minutes of the 1991 Annual Business Meeting. Following the approval of the minutes, President Rice presented the four special awards of the Society for American Archaeology: The SAA Distinguished Service Award to John E. Yellen (see American Antiquity 57:585-586); the Fryxell Award for Interdisciplinary Research to Richard A. Yarnell (see American Antiquity 57:587-588); the Crabtree Award for outstanding achievement by an avocational archaeologist to Stuart W. Connor (see American Antiquity 57: 589-590); and the Dissertation Prize Award to Lynette C. Norr (see the SAA Bulletin 10[3]:5). It was announced that the Society's 1992 Public Service Award will be presented to the Archaeological Conservancy for their efforts to protect and preserve the archaeological heritage of the nation. In addition, the Society of Professional Archeologists presented the Archaeological Conservancy with the 1992 Seiberling Award for their work. The Society presented the third annual Presidential Recognition Awards. The recipients of the award are determined by the President of the Society, in consultation with members of the Executive Board. This award allows the Society to recognize individuals who have provided extraordinary services to the Society and the profession in the past year. More than one of these awards may be presented in a given year. This year's recipient of the Presidential Recognition Award is Mark Leone for his dedicated service as treasurer of the Society. President Rice also presented a special award to Jerry and Dee Miller for their nine years of service to the Society. The Society is deeply indebted to the Millers and presented them with a lifetime membership "in recognition of and appreciation for devoted and selfless service to the SAA." President Rice expressed her gratitude to Doug Schwartz and members of the Planned Giving Task Force for their efforts, to George Gumerman for his work in establishing the Foundation for American Archaeology, to Bill Lovis for his service as Government Affairs Coordinator, and to retiring board members Meg Conkey and Brian Fagan. Following reports of the officers, the editors, the executive director, and a legislative update, no items of new business were presented to the members.
