Editors Notes/Notes du rédacteur

Editor's Notes George P. Nicholas
When I was in graduate school at the University of Missouri, my office was in a two-story, wooden-framed building that provided office and lab space for some of the archaeology faculty and students. There were study collections and artifacts kept on shelves in the offices, and boxes of site materials stored in closets and the basement. One fall day, the building burned to the ground. I remember rushing past firefighters as we rescued what was most precious—our thesis drafts and notes. These were followed by armfuls of books (library books first, and then our own) thrown into wastepaper baskets that were raced out. In the end, however, I don’t think anyone thought of the boxes of artifacts and field notes that were left behind until much later.
