ARARA 2011 Conference
Idaho Falls, Idaho
MAY 27 - 30, 2011
The Shilo Inn Conference Center
Abstract due by April 1, 2011
PRESENTERS MUST REGISTER FOR THE CONFERENCE
The American Rock Art Research Association will hold its 38th annual
conference May 27-30, 2011, in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The Shilo Inn Conference
Center has been chosen as the host hotel for this conference.
The following presentation categories will be considered. ARARA reserves
the option to change a Contributed Paper to a Report or Poster in order to
accommodate as many presentations as possible. Your presentation must be in
PowerPoint; no slide projector will be provided. Instructions on how to
submit your presentation will be provided when the presentation is accepted.
Due to space limitations, presenters are limited to one senior authorship,
but there is no limit on junior authorships.
1. Contributed Papers discuss the results of fieldwork or lab research.
Papers can include site descriptions, but they should consist of a compilation
of information, newly formulated ideas, conclusions, or overview. Papers
may be historical in nature and present an overview of previous research,
but usually include comparative content (no more than 15 minutes, with 3-4
minutes for questions).
2. Reports are shorter, often descriptive, such as information on newly
discovered sites, new dates for sites or images, or new ideas for site
recording. Reports present new information on a rock art site or sites or a new
way of thinking about rock art topics (no more than 9 minutes in length, with
no time for questions).
3. Posters can be either descriptive or comparative. They are set up as a
display with illustrations and text that describes and discusses the topic
and/or the results of the research. Poster papers are the best way to engage
in one-on-one discussions with viewers and exchange ideas (set up for a
set time period — usually a half day — with scheduled times for presenters
to be at the poster for questions).
Please designate the presentation category on the application form. All
abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee and accepted or rejected
by April 15, 2011.
APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY E-MAIL.
Receipt will be confirmed by return e-mail.
