Show 111 M e s s a g e f r om t h e E d i t or We continué the Photo Essay section inaugurated in 2001 and take it to the next level with the first ever color photographs to appear in Utah Archaeology. Color photography brings flair to artistic subjects and this is evident in the photographs of the Patterson Bundle. They were taken by Jim Blazik for this issue's Photo Essay by Merry Lycett Harrison. Color photography can also be effective for technical presentations, such as the striking color digital photomicrographs of ce-ramic temper samples in the lead article by Bryan Hockett and Maury Morgenstein. The publication of the color photography in this issue is funded by Maury Morgenstein of the Archaeological Research Facility, University of California, Berkeley, and by the Archaeology Laboratory at Utah State University, Logan. This issue continúes the Avocationist's Córner that began in 2000 and shows that "the Córner" is not lim-ited to amateurs. Ron Rood is Utah's Assistant State Archaeologist and his contribution shows that profes-sionals can, and should, contribute to the Avocationist's Córner of the journal. Many of you can help Utah Archaeology. Our journal exemplifies Public Archaeology and partnership. If you do field archaeology, please present some aspect of your research findings in a condensed, synthetic re-port. If you support the idea of public archaeology, prepare an essay for the Avocationist's Córner. These should be written for the educated, but lay reader, and on a topic of broad interest, but with some relevance to the archaeology of our región. If you have photographs that can tell a story, write some captions to pair with the photos and submit a Photo Essay. If you are an ad-vanced undergraduate or gradúate student, consider Utah Archaeologyfor those technical papers of regional interest, and use our collaborative editorial ethic to learn the ropes of publishing. Utah Archaeology needs all professionals to contribute regardless of whether you work in higher edu-cation, are in government service, or run the engine of modern archaeology in the private sector. You have chosen archaeology as your life pursuit, and the ethics of our special profession demand your service in re-turn for the privilege. We also need contributions from amateurs, because your feet are on the ground and your hearts are in the archaeology. Consider making a contribution to Utah Archaeology aUS AS Chapterproject. It has been a challenging pleasure to serve Utah Archaeology. Steven Simms, Editor |
