Greetings! The Journal of Texas Archeology and History.org is pleased to organize and sponsor the 2015 T.A.S.

On Saturday we will begin at 9:00 AM and will take a break during the TAS business meeting luncheon.  After lunch Diana Greenlee will present her new book “Poverty Point: Revealing the Forgotten City” about the New World heritage site, Poverty Point.  The book festival will be wrapped up by our banquet speaker, Jean Clottes, presenting his new book on the rock art of India, “Rock Art and Tribal Art in India” (“Des Images pour les Dieux. Art rupestre et Art tribal dans le Centre de l’Inde”) starting at 5:00 PM.  Authors will address the room to discuss their book and the writing process.  Afterward, they will be selling and autographing their books.  The book festival is open to the public and will take place in the hotel atrium near the book room and silent auction.  Following is the schedule of authors presenting their recently published works:
