Indicate in the title of the attachment: your name, poster or paper, student or regular member (for example: Danforth poster regular or Zakrzewski paper regular).
Abstract Guidelines
Abstract form
Please prepare your abstract in English, single-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt font.
The title and authors should be formatted as follows:
Although authors are free to publish their work in any venue, the topic of abstracts must fall within the aims and scope for the International Journal of Paleopathology, which may be viewed at http://ees.elsevier.com/ijpp/tempdown.asp.
Please do not submit abstracts for material already put forward for one of the other meetings being held in Austin in April. The program of the AAPA meeting will be checked, and any item accepted for both the AAPA and PPA program will be removed from the PPA program.
