First and foremost, the Oklahoma Anthropological Society Spring Dig is going on right now at the Bryson Paddock site near Ponca City. It is running from May 25-June 3. Excavation hours are 8:30-4:00. A carpool is meeting each day at the Kanza Wellness Center in Newkirk at 7:00 am. At the light in Newkirk, go east, the road will curve, but keep east about two miles till you get to a intersection. There you see a large sign to the casino. The Kanza Heath Center is on the southeast corner of that intersection.

In Oklahoma, a neat exhibit is opening on June 2 at the Sam Noble Museum on dinosaurs from China. Yes, I know quite well that archaeologists DO NOT study dinosaurs, but the museum is also hosting a free and public opening event on Friday, June 1, that will feature cultural activities provided by the Confucius Institute of the University of Oklahoma. It should be quite fun. Perhaps more pertinently, a series of Native American art objects will be on display for the first time at SNOMNH starting from May 5-September 16!
