Dear Alice:
I filled out your form and I am e-mailing you back your own message with
the filled in boxes.  I think it is great to see a conference on bone
tools that promotes the inclusion of arcaheologists.  I will try my best
to get financial support to be there.  I would love to present on my bones
from Hallan Cemi Tepesi in southeast Turkey.  The session topics sound
great, I can either do a paper in session V or II, preferrably the former.
Let me know when you need an abstarct of the papaer.
Best regards,
Shoki
