Dr. Charles R. "Chip"
McGimsey
Chip grew up in Arkansas and began his archaeological career there,
before moving on to Illinois for 17 years. After grad school, he took
the job as Southwest Regional Archaeologist at the University of
Louisiana at Lafayette. In general, the older something is, the more
interesting he finds it, but during his time in Louisiana he has worked
on Civil War sites, Acadian farmsteads, historic Indian burials, and
American Indian sites of all time periods. He has a particular fondness
for the Marksville Period, and the chronology of technological and
stylistic change over time.
Dennis Jones
ofc ph # 225 381 8201 Dennis, born in Arkansas, was raised in Memphis, TN. After experiencing an epiphany with a lithic scatter in his grandfather's plowed field near Forrest City, Arkansas, he pondered a caeer in archaeology. Despite being relatively sober for most of his life, he pursued that career anyway. With a B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis and an M.A. from LSU, he has worked in many places: Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and even exotic Mississippi. A longtime LAS member, he now has the dubious honor of being the newsletter editor. Please feel free to send him any announcements, news, complaints, or praise (?).
