The conference will feature field trips, workshops, speakers, a banquet, and our wonderful vendor room.

Grand Junction is located in a beautiful valley at the junction of the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers and has many outdoor restaurants, a fabulous collection of outdoor art throughout the downtown area, and numerous orchards in the Colorado wine country (plan a couple of extra days to explore!)

Rooms for two are $119, and include free parking and Internet along with refrigerators and microwaves in each room.  Reservations for the event can be made by contacting the reservations department at 970-241-8888, or through the Hotel’s central reservations number 800-222-8733. Be sure and identify yourselves by the Group name (ARARA) to receive our special group rate.

Local members of the Colorado Archaeological Society (CAS) are providing assistance with the conference, led by the local team leader Doug Van Etten, with Jim Liewer, assisting the ARARA fieldtrip committee. 

ARARA supports students, and is offering special assistance to those attending the conference.  Student presenters (paper or poster), registered in a college/university level related program, will receive up to $500 to defray travel and accommodation costs, in addition to complimentary registration for the conference and a banquet ticket.  Students attending, but not presenting will receive complimentary registration and a banquet ticket.

See you in Grand Junction!
