The 17th Arctic Conference will be held 13-14 November 2009, at the
Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), University of
Colorado, in Boulder, Colorado. The Arctic Conference is an informal
symposium of archaeologists, anthropologists, ecologists, and geologists
who gather once a year to share data and new findings and to plan
collaborative research activities.

This year's conference will feature a poster session and facility tours,
including INSTAAR's AMS 14C radiocarbon preparation laboratory, invited
speakers, and a keynote address by Dr. Douglas Anderson, from Brown
University. The conference is well suited to student participants who
are encouraged to present findings from their thesis and dissertation
research.

Presented papers are 20 minutes in length and no papers are scheduled
concurrently (i.e., participants have the option of attending all
papers). Abstracts should be 500 words or less and may include one
figure and references. The deadline for abstract submission is 30
September 2009.
