This year’s meeting promises to be outstanding. Alongside the scientific program featuring over 1200 podium and poster presentations, running from Thursday morning, April 16th through Saturday afternoon, April 18th, there are 18 workshops offered this year (some scheduled for Wednesday April 15th), many AAPA Committee on Diversity (COD) initiatives, and a great line up of exhibitors. Once again, the AAPA will be sponsoring a booth featuring a professional photographer taking free headshots on Friday April 17th. Sign up at the booth in the morning and practice your smile. And, of course, remember to read each day’s events in our meeting program so you don’t miss a thing! As most members are aware, two motions were presented at the Annual Business Meeting in 2019 to formally change the name of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists to the American Association of Biological Anthropologists. These motions will be voted upon for final approval at the 2020 Annual Business meeting on Friday April 17th from 6:30-8:30pm in the Platinum Ballroom. Since our Bylaws stipulate that regular members of the AAPA must be in attendance to cast their vote, I encourage everyone to attend this historic event! Particularly important this year are initiatives that we are taking to recognize and end all forms of harassment and abuse in our field. Towards that end, we have implemented important measures. 1) We have strengthened our Code of Conduct to include actions that the AAPA will take in violation of the Code of Conduct, the AAPA Code of Ethics, and the AAPA Statement on Sexual and other Harassment. 2) We have a confidential reporting website in place, available 24/7: codeofconduct@ burkinc.com. If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, do not hesitate to call 911. For support in other instances, call or text 703-592-9946 at any time during the meeting. This number reaches staff from Burk & Associates (our meeting manage- ment company), who are attending the conference. 3) There will be a Safe Space created behind the registration desk to welcome anyone who feels threatened, unsafe, or wishes to speak with a Safety Ally. 4) A new Harassment Report Committee has been formed whose task is to immedi- ately respond to reports and assist the Executive Committee in taking subsequent actions. AAPA Conference Program 5 MESSAGE FROM THE AAPA PRESIDENT 5) There will be approximately 30 individuals (including Executive Committee members, Burk and Associate personnel, and other AAPA members) trained as Safety Allies at the meeting (they will be identified by wearing a large green Safety Ally button). Each ally is there to assist anyone needing to discuss or report an incident and/or requiring a safe space. 6) We have invited Sherry Marts from S*Marts Consulting, LLC, a leader in working with organizations to create and maintain inclusive and safe professional environments, to train all Safety Allies to recognize and respond to harassment. 7) Lastly, the Presidential Panel this year, held on Thursday April 16th from noon to 2pm in Diamond 4-5, will be a plenary session featuring Sherry Marts who will be talking about Building Community: Recognizing and Resisting Harassment. I hope everyone can attend. Organizing and running our association and annual meeting takes a herculean effort by an extraordinary number of people. Great thanks go to our Vice President, Steve Leigh for completing the unenviable task of coordinating the scientific program, the Program Committee for evaluating over 1200 abstracts, the coordinators and judges of our student and professional awards, the many student volunteers who help at our meeting, Lori Strong, Heide Rohland, and all Burk and Associates folks for helping us maintain our membership and plan our meeting, the over 300 member volunteers who serve on committees throughout the year, and of course, Executive Committee members who work helps ensure that the AAPA remains a vibrant association. Enjoy the Meeting! Anne L. Grauer President American Association of Physical Anthropologists 6 MESSAGE FROM THE VP & PROGRAM CHAIR Welcome! It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2020 meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. This year’s meeting is our 89th, and will be held in Los Angeles, CA. The main conference hotel, the Marriott LA Live, is attached to our main venue, the Los Angeles Convention Center. We are excited to be visiting Los Angeles for the first time in our history. We are grateful to our Local Arrangements Committee, Kristi Lewton (USC) and Stephanie Meredith (West Los Angeles College). We hope that you will enjoy the meeting. Our program includes over 1,200 peer-reviewed scientific papers, which will be presented in either podium or poster sessions beginning Thursday morning. The 70 scientific sessions include 6 invited podium symposia, 18 invited poster symposia, along with contributed podium and poster sessions. In addition, there are 18 innovative and exciting workshop sessions that run in parallel to the scientific program. Once again, our program is truly international, with scientists from all over the world including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. We are pleased to be joined in Los Angeles by our partner organizations, the Paleopathology Association (PPA), the Human Biology Association (HBA), the American Association for Anthropological Genetics (AAAG), and the Dental Anthropology Association (DAA). The American Anthropological Association (AAA) is also joining us in sponsoring a session this year. Programming officially begins on Wednesday, April 15, 2020, with the Committee on Diversity Undergraduate Research Symposium (open to everyone from 6:00-8:00 pm) and the Opening Reception (8:00-11:00 pm). This year’s venue is truly an exceptional space and will promote a very productive set of meetings. We’ve grown in size, complexity, and scope of our meetings. As in previous years, podium presentations need to be uploaded onto a central secure server in the Speaker Ready Room no later than a half day before the presentation. This server will then “push” pres- entations to the appropriate meeting room and
