The Great Basin Archaeological Conference (http://www.gbac.whsites.net/meeting.html) will be held from October 8-11 2008 in Portland, Oregon (how convenient). They will be accepting student posters, presentations, and papers that are accompanied with presentations. The deadline for the abstract is August 1. I'm hoping to submit a paper on the differences in archaic bone on several sites in the Ashley National Forest. The forest service will allow me to use their data and resources. I'm excited for this because with this paper, I can submit it to the conference, possibility get it published, and submit it as a writing sample for my graduate school applications. All of these things will make getting into graduate schools tremendously easier, so wish me luck! I don't have a whole lot of time, but my intentions are to have a pretty solid draft complete before I leave the Ashley, then polish it, prepare my presentation, and possibly prepare a poster to accompany it. I'll let you now how it goes.
Just so you know, I'm planning to apply to the University of Utah, Washington State, University of Alberta, and University of Oregon for graduate school. All the deadlines are in January. This summer, I'm studying for the GRE, which I'll take at the end of the summer.
