<div>Hi, I’m DALE CROES, Director of the <em>Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society </em>(PNWAS). We are a non-profit (501c3) celebrating 41 years of public education; we support preserving the rich archaeological heritage of the Pacific Northwest. Our program is in Olympia, WA, and we provide quarterly talks through ZOOM by archaeologist conducting current Pacific Northwest archaeological projects and research (see below).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We ask <strong>your HELP FOR A FINAL, THIS AUGUST, RESCUE EXCAVATION </strong>of an extraordinarily rich frozen archaeological site that was severely impacted by typhoon Halong on the outer Alaskan Coast last Fall. Dr. Richard Knecht, Director of the Nunalleq site, reported:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Rescue archaeology continues at the Nunalleq site to save what we can from the very rapid erosion is now taking place on this part of the Bering Sea coast <strong>[<em>NOTE: </em> because of your added support, Rick is planning to conduct the last rescue excavations with an August crew!!!!]</strong>. An international crew of volunteer archaeologists, conservators along with support staff from Qanirtuuq Inc. and Nalaquq LLC, in Quinhagak are working long hours, six days a week. We are also grateful for support from the <em>Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society</em>, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Anchorage Museum."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When asked on Facebook: <strong>"If you guys got more funding could you go longer in the field?"</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>RICK's REPLY:</strong> <strong><em>YES- more funds would do it. The digging crew is unpaid and cover their own travel expenses so we are able to stretch any funding a long way. </em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>BREAKING NEWS: </em></strong><em> RICK IS CURRENTLY RECRUITING AN AUGUST CREW WITH THIS GOFUNDME RESPONSE, WITH </em><strong><em>A LAST CHANCE TO BEAT THIS WINTER'S SURF EROSION.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
