Join us Wednesday evening for the opening session of the SHA 2026 Conference for presentation of the Kathleen Kirk Gilmore Dissertation Award, the James Deetz Book Award, and the SHA Awards of Merit.  

Plenary speakers will introduce a range of archaeological projects and community-involved initiatives in Michigan, from the decades-long excavations at Fort Michilimackinac to the recent restoration project at the one-time home of Malcolm X, highlighting connections with the conference theme of mobility.

Following the Plenary Session, meet up with old friends and make new ones at the Opening Reception.  Complimentary appetizers and a cash bar.
