Dear Colleagues and Friends:

We are holding a memorial symposium entitled Ben Rouse’s Legacy on April 20 and 21, 2007 to celebrate the remarkable life and career of Irving Rouse. The event will consist of a keynote lecture on Friday evening by Douglas W. Schwartz, Senior Scholar at the School of Advanced Research, followed by a day of presentations by Ben’s students and colleagues on Saturday. We hope that this will be an unforgettable occasion and we hope that you will be able to attend. Information concerning the details of this event and a preliminary program can be found on: www.yale.edu/archaeology/rouse

Yours truly,
