The next meeting will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, in conjunction with and just prior to the SAA meetings in April of 2010. A call for papers will be posted here in September. The deadline for abstracts will be early December. If you plan on presenting at the SAAs as well, their deadline is September 10th.
To receive news about the meeting and new publications in our journal, be sure to add your name to our mailing list.
In addition to the publication of articles, book reviews, and the abstracts of the annual meetings of the Society, the journal accepts commentaries on articles, summaries of current work in the various fields of paleoanthropology. Articles are fully peer-reviewed and may contain large data files, numerous illustrations and links to visualizations; manuscripts based on dissertation work, up to entire dissertations, may be submitted as appropriate. As always, the journal depends on the contributions of scholars within the field, and the editors would like to take this opportunity to encourage all of you to think of our journal as an outlet for the presentation of your research.
Call for papers and Books to Review
The Society now also hosts additional publications in the field of PaleoAnthropology. These are not publications of the Society but are being made available to the community via our web site. Follow this link to view these publications.
New journal -
ETHNOARCHAEOLOGY: Journal of Archaeological, Ethnographic, and
Experimental Studies welcomes submission of original manuscripts of no
more than 30 double spaced pages that advance aspects of
ethnoarchaeological and experimental research as well as furthering the
professional interests by showcasing our contribution to our discipline.
All manuscripts are subject to anonymous peer review by knowledgeable
scholars and, if accepted, may be subject to revision.
The first issue of this new peer-reviewed journal is in press and will be released April 2009 with articles by Michael B. Schiffer, Margaret Beck, James Skibo, and Hetty Jo Brumbach and Robert Jarvenpa.
The website for the journal:

This new journal, Ethnoarchaeology, a cross-cultural peer-reviewed
journal, will focus on the present position, impact of, and future
prospects of ethnoarchaeological and experimental studies approaches to
anthropological research. The primary goal of this journal is to provide
practitioners with an intellectual platform in which we may showcase and
appraise current research as well as foreground theoretical and
methodological directions for the 21st century. One need that
Ethnoarchaeology addresses is that there is little that unifies or defines
our subdiscipline, although there has been an exponential increase in
ethnoarchaeological and experimental research in the past thirty years.
With such growth we must explore what distinguishes these approaches as a
subdiscipline, what methods connect practitioners, and what unique suite
of research attributes we contribute to the better understanding of the
human condition. The journal should be of interest to archaeologists,
other anthropologists, historians, and specialists in pre-modern and
contemporary technologies. In addition to research articles, the journal
will contain book and other media reviews, periodic theme issues, and
position statements by noted scholars.
Correspondence concerning article submissions should be sent to:
ethnoarchaeology@unlv.edu
Suggestions for book and media reviews should be sent directly to:
margaret-beck@uiowa.edu

Lisa Frink, Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
