The DeLeon Lab is once again AAPA bound! As a lab, we had 6 abstracts accepted as posters for the 2017 American Association of Physical Anthropology Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. We are very excited to be returning to the meeting this year (above is a lab picture from the 2016 AAPA meeting) and will be presenting on a variety of topics including nasal turbinals, tarsal development in primates, and pelvis morphology.

Here are some highlights from the 2016 AAPA meeting:

Cat presented on tarsal ossification patterns in Primates and how they reflect locomotion behavior.

 

Sarah’s research focused on cross-sectional properties of bones found at Morton Shell Mound (16IB3).

Lexi presented on the growth of the temporal bone using mouse models for human development.

Molly presented on the differences of turbinal growth and development in Primates.

Andree’s research focused on taphonomic observations in the Karluk Salmon Cannery Chinese of Kodiak Island, Alaska.
