Middle Atlantic Archaeological Conference

6th Annual Student Paper Competition

CALL FOR PAPERS

Ocean View, Maryland

February 28 - March 2 , 2008

B.A. and M.A. students and recent B.A. graduates are invited to submit abstracts for twenty-minute, single-authored papers on any topic related to archaeology in the mid-Atlantic United States.  Papers will be judged by a panel of MAAC member judges with diverse backgrounds in the field of archaeology.  The papers will be judged on content and presentation. This competition is unique in that each student participant will be paired with a mentor of a similar focus in archaeology.  The mentor will be of the student’s choosing or will be paired with the student after the abstract is submitted.  The mentor will serve as an advisor and editor on the paper before it is presented at the conference.  Winners will receive a monetary prize and a certificate of award from the MAAC President.  All papers will be published in the Journal of Middle Atlantic Archaeology.  Click here for the Guidelines for the competition.

The deadline for the paper title and abstract is December 31, 2007.  In addition to the title and abstract (150 words or less), please provide name, affiliation and/or degree program, mentor (optional), address, phone, email, audio-visual requirements, and the conference pre-registration fee of $30.  A final copy of the paper is due February 1, 2008.  Students and recent graduates must be members of MAAC to present a paper.
