Editors Notes/Notes du rédacteur

Editor's Notes Gerald Oetelaar
This issue of the Canadian Journal of Archaeology includes a new section entitled "Retrospective" which features an article by Jane Kelley entitled "Presentism? Balderdash". As an undergraduate student in the Department of Archaeology during the early 1970s, I was one of many young impressionable minds who heard Charlie Eyman express his dismay over some issue with the familiar, always resounding, BALDERDASH! Further, I, like so many archaeologists in Canada today, am the product of mentors who were or were taught by some of the key figures in archaeology today. Sadly, some of these pillars of the archaeological community are no longer with us and I shudder to think how much valuable information and how many unique historical perspectives on the discipline have been lost as a result of their passing.
