AAA & AAPA Anatomy Award 2013
The anatomical sciences and biological anthropology have a deeply entwined history, and new methodological and theoretical advances in both fields ensure an exciting future.

One student will be awarded $200 for the poster or podium presentation that is judged to best implement either traditional or state-of-the-art anatomical methodologies in innovative anthropological research. Students will be judged on novelty of the research question and design, use of anatomical methodologies, and presentation style.
