Archaeoastronomy researcher CRYSTAL TRICKEL and AAPS conference producer JUDY JOHNSON join us to discuss this year's AAPS Conference.  There is another stellar lineup of speakers, and Crystal will be discussing her research in Kansas, OK's panhandle and southeastern Colorado.  Who was establishing these places as astronomical observation centers?  Where were they located?  Can we contrast these observatories with ones in other regions of the country? Why is there evidence of Iberian and Celtic writing in the area?  We will look at the cultural context and, possible, mixture of international visitors.  We will learn more about the local copper sites at the conference in Harris, Michigan.
