Call for Papers and Posters
The Archaeological Society of New Jersey is putting out a call for papers and posters for its third annual conference to be held in Atlantic City, January 16-18th, 2026.
Topics may cover a wide range of archaeological and historical topics in the mid-Atlantic region. Papers from wider regions will be considered on the topic’s relevance to regional archaeology and history. Papers may cover all time periods from prehistoric to recent history and heritage topics. Students are especially encouraged to present.
Paper presentations will be 15 minutes long. Posters should be no more than 36x48”.
To be considered, submit a title, authors with affiliations, and abstract (no more than 200 words), at this link.
Submissions will be evaluated based on their relevance and suitability to mid-Atlantic archaeology by the ASNJ Conference Committee. Submission deadline is November 30, 2025. Once paper presentation slots are full, authors may be asked to instead present a poster.
