ALTHOUGH SAA AND PALEOANTHROPOLOGY SOCIETY IN-PERSON MEETINGS ARE PLANNED, POTENTIAL COVID RESTRICTIONS MAKE THIS UNCERTAIN. THEREFORE THE PALEOANTHROPOLOGY ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE WILL BE FEBRUARY 1, 2021. HOEPFULLY, BY THAT TIME THE SOCIETY SHALL KNOW WHETHER AN IN-PERSON SAA MEETING WILL IN FACT TAKE PLACE. IF THE SAA DOES CONVENE IN SAN FRANCISCO THE PALEOANTHROPOLOGY SOCIETY WILL MEET THERE AS WELL. IF NOT, THE PALEOANTHROPOLOGY SOCIETY MEETING WILL BE CANCELLED.
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 online submission system by February 1 (go to: www.paleoanthro.org). 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.

Recall that access to our electronic journal PaleoAnthropology is free to all, paid member or not, but your membership fees defray the cost of publishing the journal, as well as travel by students and international colleagues and other expenses, and they are much appreciated. Please check the Society web site for new and updated information on many topics.
You may contact the Society directly by email at jyellen@nsf.gov.
The Member Directory of our web site permits you to check and update your name and address (please advise the Secretary on the site if you find duplicate listings for yourself) and also determine if you have already paid your Society dues and meeting registration for a given year; note that our dues year begins on August 1 (but this year I credited dues paid after late June for 2021; please check your records before you pay again).
It is now possible to receive email notices of new articles in our online journal PaleoAnthropology!
To sign up for such journal alerts, go to the Members Page of our web site
Follow the instructions to find your listing, click “Edit Member Information” and (after confirming your data) click the Journal Emails checkbox (you can sign out by going back and unchecking the box later if you wish).
