Paleoanthropology Journal

The journal of the Society, PaleoAnthropology, has published a number of new
articles and reviews this past year and we are hopeful that the number of
high-quality published articles will continue to increase.  Society members are
encouraged to send original manuscripts, as well as Letters to the Editor
(which can be comments to published articles), to either Karen Rosenberg
(krr at udel.edu) or Harold Dibble (hdibble at sas.upenn.edu).  For book reviews,
please contact Deborah Olszewski (deboraho at sas.upenn.edu).  In the future,
email announcements of recent postings will be sent to all persons who are in
the current contact mailing list.

Please distribute this information to colleagues and students who might wish to
join the Society or participate in its activities.
