Show MESSAGE FROM THE EDITORS Thank you for your patience. We know many of you have anxiously awaited the publication of this volume of Utah Archaeology. We hope its delay hasn't caused you any inconvenience. As you may know, we have faced some challenges since we started work on this edition, including making sure that the primary supporter of the publication, the Utah Statewide Archaeological Society, could continue its support without overspending its limited budget. With the help of a number of people, including Corinne Springer, Jill White, and Dave Clark, we have solved that problem and made sure that Utah Archaeology will be on sound financial footing for the coming years. We have also had some technical difficulties in transferring the journal from BYU to the Division of State History, especially in keeping the format we have all become accustomed to. With the recent purchase of new computer equipment, and a tremendous amount of work and learning by Renae Weder, we are on track, and will be able to get back on schedule very quickly. We think the contents of this volume illustrate why archaeology in Utah is so interesting and fun, from Simms' observations about consultation with American Indians, to O'Connell's article on ethnoarchaeology, to Fawcett's investigation of the effects of surface collecting, to Russell's discovery of a Paleolndian site, to Stuart's report of an excavation by the Promontory-Tubaduka Chapter of USAS, there is plenty here to enjoy, to ponder, and to spur new thinking and further learning. We thank the many people who helped us in bringing this volume to press, including the authors, the officers of U.S.A.S. and U.P.A.C., the reviewers, Joel Janetski, Kathy Driggs, Dave Schmitt, Julie Maurer, and especially Renae Weder.
