Note on Sustainable San Juan: A nice article on this organization came out in the Farmington Daily Times. Please
find that article, written by James Fenton (jfenton@daily-times.com) at http://daily-times.com in the
Local/Region section, page A4, 11/13/2012. It indicates the group has been active for seven years and is seeking
new members. Members call themselves bioneers, meet at the Aztec Public Library Monday nights, and will have
an annual meeting December 10 at the library to discuss priorities. The group encourages challenging
informational forums and various sustainable activities including a community garden in Good Samaritan
Society-Four Corners Village senior living campus.

ARTICLES
See the SAA Archaeological Record’s November 2013, Volume 13, Number 5 issue for several articles relating to
past and current sustainability. It’s a special issue on “The Archaeology of the Human Experience.” Articles:
“The Archaeology of the Human Experience” by Michelle Hegmon. “Challenging Our Questions: Toward an
Archaeology of Food Security” by Amanda Logan. The Social Costs of Sustainability in the Faroe Islands, by Seth
Brewington. “Security in the City”,by Timothy Dennehy. “Agricultural Intensification and Long-Term Changes in
Human Well-Being”,by Laura Swsntek and Jacob Freeman. “Human Securities and Tewa Origins” by Scott G.
Ortman. There are also two nice articles in this issue in the “Editor’s Corner” and “From The President” sections.
They discuss the impacts on archaeology by what happens in Washington, the need to demonstrate archaeology’s
usefulness in terms of shedding light on current issues and the broad human condition, and other issues. At the
time the president was putting together his column for this issue, he wrote: “.... the United States government is
entering the second week of a government shutdown with no end in sight.”
