Annual Meeting 2009

Welcome to Del Rio for the
80th Texas Archeological Society Annual Meeting

Call for Papers

The Annual Meeting is coming to Del Rio for the first time.  This is an opportunity for the Society to encourage new membership in a region that has spectacular archeological sites but few TAS members!  Lots of archeological fieldwork has been done near Del Rio since the early 1930s, and lots of reports have been generated - it is about time the TAS meets in the Pecos-Rio Grande Canyonlands.

This is the final call inviting members to submit abstracts of symposia, papers, and poster displays for presentation at the Annual Meeting.  Authors will be notified in September if their presentation has been accepted, so please note the deadlines provided below.  Meeting rooms will be equipped with digital projectors and laptop computers for PowerPoint presentations.  Slide projectors require a special request to the Program Chair.

Individual Papers – Titles and Abstracts are due by September 1, 2009.

Symposia – Titles and Abstracts are due by August 15, 2009.

Poster Presentation – Titles and Abstracts are due by September 1, 2009

Abstracts must include the following information to be considered: Type of submission (Paper/Symposium/Poster); Title; Author(s) and Affiliation(s) (with contact email address(s) and phone number(s); and Abstract of 150 words or less (longer abstracts will be rejected or returned for correction).  All abstracts should be submitted to the Program Chair, Elton Prewitt, via email to papers@txarch.org, or send to Elton Prewitt, 9315 Old Lampasas Trail, Austin, Texas 78750-4209.

PLEASE NOTE changes in procedures this year. You must register for the meeting when you submit abstracts for your proposed paper, symposia, or poster. Symposia organizers need to insure their participants register by the time you submit the abstracts packet. Proposals will not be accepted by the Program Committee until the Registrar confirms each presenter has registered.
