The Alaska Consortium of Zooarchaeologists and the Public Education Group will be co-sponsoring the 2010 meetings of the Alaska Anthropological Association in Anchorage, Alaska between March 24 and 27, 2010 at the Millennium Hotel.
More detailed information about the conference and accommodations is also available at
(click on) Alaska Consortium of Zooarchaeologists.
Go to "aaa 2010" or "workshops."
Special sessions and the speakers' topics will focus on anthropology and the public.
Instructions to Presenters
Papers: 20 minute blocks are provided for each paper. This includes time for setting up at the beginning of the paper and questions. Please limit your paper to 15 minutes to keep the sessions running on time. Organizers will be asked to keep the papers within the time allotted for each paper. Make sure you meet with the organizer for your session well ahead of time (day before, hours before) to load your presentation on the laptop that will be used in your session. There will not be time to do this just before you present.
Posters: We are still working on the poster schedule. Posters should be no more than 4 feet wide and no more than 3 feet high. We will provide either velcro tabs or tacks depending on the kind of surface on the board. You can put up little brochure boxes in front of your poster if you'd like to provide reduced paper versions for people
Organizers: You need to bring a laptop or make sure one is available from one of your participants to use in your session. The hotel will not provide laptops. There will be an AV person to assist you with the projector and the equipment. His name is Mark Rollins. Make sure the participants in your session all have their presentations loaded onto the laptop the day before or several hours before the session begins. Please limit the papers to their 20 minute blocks. People count on the papers being presented when they are scheduled as they move from session to session. If a participant does not show, do not move the schedule up. Just insert a 20 minute break in that slot so the papers are still presented when originally scheduled.
Our banquet speaker will be Brian Fagan. He is well known for many popular books in archaeology including:
