Paleoanthropology Society
2012 Meeting
First Announcement and Call for Papers
The annual Paleoanthropology Society meeting will be held in Memphis Tennessee on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 17 and 18 in conjunction with the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) annual meeting. The main conference hotel is the Memphis Marriott Downtown located at 250 North Main Street. Additional useful hotel information can be obtained from the SAA web site, www.saa.org.
Non-concurrent oral and poster sessions will be held with oral presentations limited to 15 minutes. If you wish to have either a poster or oral presentation considered for inclusion, you must submit an abstract via the Society's web site before December 2. Abstracts must not exceed 300 words of text (not counting address, title, acknowledgments, etc.), and those submitted by any other route will be declined. The web system will request the name, title, institutional affiliation, mailing and email address of all authors. Please consider the nature of the material you wish to present and on this basis decide whether a poster or oral presentation will be most effective: then click the appropriate box.
Partial travel support will be available for some individuals such as graduate students and other presenters who do not have "normal" access to travel funds. If you wish to apply for such funding please note this on the web form.
The registration fee is $15 and annual membership in the Society is $20. Both are payable in three ways (We would be grateful if individuals would use options 1 and 2 to the maximum extent possible):
- 1. Electronically via Paypal. It allows the establishment of new
accounts. Please follow this link. We very strongly request you to use this option.
- 2. By check, payable in US dollars to "Paleoanthropology Society." Send to:
- John Yellen
- 810 E Street SE
- Washington DC 20003
- 3. By check or US dollars at registration.
Recall that access to our electronic journal PaleoAnthropology is now free to all, paid member or not, but your membership fees defray the cost of travel by students and international colleagues and other expenses, and they are much appreciated. Please check the journal page for new and updated information on many topics.
You may contact the Society directly by email at jyellen@nsf.gov.
Please note that the Society's 2013 annual meeting will be held in conjunction with the Society for American Archaeology in Honolulu. (The Society's normal pattern is to meet in alternate years with the SAA and the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. However in 2012 and 2013 it will meet with the SAA for two years in a row.)
