As president of the Society for American Archaeology, Richard E. W. Adams chose his incoming remarks to challenge other archaeological societies. As past president of the Society of Professional Archeologists. I question some of Adams´s recollections and assertions. I reject his implied conclusions and argue that although limited. SOPA has performed far more successfully than could have been expected. Finally I suggest that the ideal relationship between the SAA and SOPA is neither competitive nor parasitic, but symbiotic.
