Editors Notes/Notes du rédacteur

Editor's Note George P. Nicholas
One of the most exciting developments in Canadian archaeology is going on around us today. It is not a new application of cutting-edge technology, nor the discovery of a site with an unprecedented detail of past behavior. This development has nothing to do with the evolving relationship between descendant communities and the discipline of archaeology. It is not about a new theoretical orientation that combines processual, postprocessual, and other approaches to understanding past people’s lives, or that illuminates how our own lives influence our understanding of them. Certainly, these are all things we eagerly anticipate, but there is something else of importance that receives far too little attention – namely, what graduate students are up to.
