Program of the Seventy-Eighth Annual Meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists

摘要

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our1 2009 conference. With the support of my assistants, the program committee has put together an excellent program encompassing nearly 970 presentations. We tried to accommodate authors' preferences concerning presentation medium as much as possible. However, we gave higher priority to scientific cohesiveness of sessions, so that papers on similar topics were put in the same session. Indeed, some sessions are rather small because they contain a select number of paper which deal with a specific topic.
