NOTICE: MTSU will issue tickets that day to cars parked in lots without the appropriate pass. There is a slight parking change for Friday at the Current Research in Tennessee Archaeology (CRITA) for the Tennessee Archaeological Advisory Council and Tennessee Council for Professional Archaeology meetings.  Parking for Friday is still in the Bell Street lot.  However, rather than reserved parking spots with barricades and attendant, folks will receive a parking permit from a worker at the Bell Street lot entrance (you will see a sign saying “CRITA PARKING PERMITS”).  Permits will be available from 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm.

  • five anthropologists representing the University of Tennessee, University of Memphis, Vanderbilt University, Middle Tennessee State University and East Tennessee State University;
  • one representative from the Tennessee Historical Commission;
