Paleoanthropology Society
2026 Meeting, Denver Colorado
First Announcement and Call for Papers

The annual Paleoanthropology Society meeting will be held in Denver on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 17 and 18 in conjunction with the American Association of Biological Anthropologists.  The conference hotel is the Sheraton Downtown Denver. For updated hotel information please check the AABA web site.

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 before December 1. 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 may 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 $100 and annual membership in the Society is $40.  Both are payable in two ways.

  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 or US dollars at registration.

Recall that access to our electronic journal 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. Membership is based on our fiscal year, which begins August 1.  Please check the Society web site for new and updated information on many topics.
