148th Annual Meeting Abstracts

Links for the abstracts for the 148th annual meeting appear below. To see the abstract of a paper to be delivered at the annual meeting, click on the abstract's title. To find a particular abstract, use the search field below. You can also click on the column headers to alter the order in which the information is sorted. By default, the abstracts are sorted by the number of the session and the order in which the papers will be presented. Please note the following. Not all sessions and presentations have abstracts associated with them. "Ancient MakerSpaces" is an all-day workshop and thus does not have a session number. Panels in which the first abstract is listed as .2 rather than .1 have an introductory speaker.
