The Society for American Archaeology Annual Meeting is always a highlight for Crow Canyon staff—and this year is no exception. Our team and associates will be actively contributing through oral presentations, posters, and panel discussions spanning more than a dozen topics, from painted pottery design to data sovereignty.
We participate in the SAA conference not only to share our work, but to listen, learn, and engage with conversations shaping the future of archaeology.
