With the May 2000 issue (10:I). The Bulletin of the History ofArchaeology begins its tenth year of pub­lication. The BHA was hatched nearly 11 years ago when Don McVicker, Alice B. Kehoe, and I sat in the offices of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at North Central College (Don McVicker's former affiliation) to begin a discussion amongst ourselves of the current status of research into our discipline's origins and into new and innovative ways of writing the history of Americanist archaeology.
