*Note for Scholars from Jordan:听ACOR awards 2 scholarships for participation in ASOR鈥檚 Annual Meeting (one in-person/Boston scholarship, and one virtual component scholarship). There is a place on the abstract submission form to indicate that the presenter is a scholar from Jordan and would like to be considered for an听.听 Jordanian scholars may postpone the membership and registration requirements until ACOR scholarship decisions are made.

Virtual Meeting Format

The virtual component will be held online (October 19-23) before the meeting in Boston (November 16-19) in 2022.听 Should your paper abstract be accepted to the virtual component, please be prepared to record your paper presentation (as an mp4 video, 20 min. max), submit the recording by September 23, and attend the virtual session in October. Registered attendees should watch the presentations before the virtual component in order to fully participate in the sessions. The virtual session time (1 hour) will be used for paper discussion and Q&A with the presenters. Further details and virtual support will be available for virtual participants in May.

A note about Virtual Workshops:听Workshops are designated by the word 鈥淲orkshop鈥� in parentheses at the end of the title.听 Virtual workshop presentations are limited to a maximum of 10 minutes and do not constitute a paper presentation. Unlike a paper session, these brief workshop presentations are not pre-recorded and they will be given during the virtual workshop in October.

Important: Please decide before submitting your abstract if, should it be accepted, you would like to present as part of the virtual component (online, October 19-23), in Boston (November 16-19), or both.听 There will be a required question on the abstract submission form to indicate your decision. You may submit the same abstract once for both virtual and in-person consideration, however, not all sessions/workshops are being offered as part of both components. Abstracts for the in-person and virtual components must be submitted via听.

The abstract will be reviewed by session chairs based on the session/workshops that you select on the submission form. You may select a first-choice session or workshop as well as second-choice option. For further information or questions specifically related to sessions and workshops, we strongly suggest that you email the Chair(s)听in advance听of the submission deadline.

The 17吃瓜Office will send e-mail proposal decision notifications by May 15. Questions regarding the online submission process or the status of a submission should be emailed to听Arlene Press,听ASOR鈥檚 Director of Meetings and Events.

3. The TITLE should be precise and give sufficient information to allow for bibliographic indexing.
4. Bibliographic references should be kept to a minimum (avoided if possible) and count towards the 250 word limit.

5. It is understood that excavators and others engaged in field research during the summer cannot provide conclusions by the March 15 deadline. Preliminary submission for reports on excavations and surveys, however, is required; submissions should be detailed and specific and should include information on the precise objective of the project and its research design.

Format of Abstracts
