From April 18th to 22, 2006, the annual Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology Conference was held in Fargo, North Dakota. (Sounds facinating doesn't it?) Since the conference is normally held in European countries, I could not pass up the chance to go when it was this close!
I learned a lot, and met some great people while I was there. Next year Berlin...?
