BAS [Brazosport Archaeological Society] reported that its members are still working the same projects as last quarter; nothing new to report.

FBAS [Fort Bend Archeological Society] responded with the same information, nothing new, same as last quarter.

HAS [Houston Archeological Society] was represented by Linda Swift at the annual meeting of AIA [Archaeological Institute of America] in San Antonio, also had an HAS display in January.  In February, labs were conducted on two prehistoric collections and HAS had a program called "Frostown, Texas" presented by Kirk Farris.  In March, more lab work was done, and the monthly program was "The Gulf of Mexico's Deep Water Shipwrecks" presented by marine archaeologist Dan Warren.

As this report is being written, work has started once again at Bernardo Plantation; all the above groups are involved.  Sam Houston Museum in Huntsville, Texas opened a new exhibit on the Bernardo Plantation and San Jacinto, with lots of new artifacts.  Sandy Rodgers was heavily involved in the opening of the exhibit.
