ASM Publications
For more than 30 years, the Archeological Society of Maryland, Inc. has aggressively supported a strong publications program. Today, the Society's publications take three basic forms:
ASM Ink
, the Society's newsletter. Mailed monthly, this 8- to
12-page newsletter keeps every member of the Society abreast
of the latest archeological news in Maryland...field and lab
projects needing volunteers...upcoming meetings, workshops, and
talks...Chapter news...legislation and other action affecting
archeology...and much, much more. Since March 2002 the newsletter
has been available to ASM members on-line. The ASM Board of Directors
recently decided to make it available to the general public through this
website. Click on the ASM Ink icon above to view current and past
issues of ASM Ink. Items for the newsletter should be directed to
the Editor,
Myron
Beckenstein.
