2009 Avebury Megameet
Feb 07, 2008, 16:26
If this is WAY too "far in advance," I apologize and it can be taken down. But you can see from this how far in advance Loie and I need to plan! (Her work schedule and our budget necessitate.)

We are, as mentioned in the 2008 Megameet post, in the throes of planning Driving the Stone Age VIII: Turkey. If all goes well, sometime in the summer of 2009 we will visit The Standing Stones of Kalecik and Nemrut Dagi (not prehistoric but what the heck), Cayonu, Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe, Catal Huyuck; and the Turkish museums containing artifacts from these (and of course other Meso- and Neolithic) sites. Note I say "summer," that is, June, July or August.

Considerations of weather and the dates when the archaeological sites will be open dictate the summer. What we'd like to ask, or propose, is that the 2009 Megameet be held in the summer, so that we could attend on the way BACK from DtSA VIII, and give the Meet a report, or at least have some way to show photos, etc. on DtSA VIII. Perhaps that's too much to hope for? The sites we plan to visit are not "megalithic," so might be beyond the purview of this site and the interests of this group.

If there's any interest in such a schedule, or if it's an imposition, please let us know. If there IS any interest, we'll do our best to coordinate with y'all.
