The 34^th Annual Meeting of the Society of Ethobiology “Historical and Archaeological Perspectives on Ethnobiology” will be held from May 4– May 7, 2011 in Columbus, Ohio. We welcome all papers that touch on relationships between humans and other organisms, both past and present. In keeping with the conference theme, we are particularly interested in soliciting presentations that address the following topics and approaches:

• History and evolutionary significance of important ethnobiological patterns, such as plant and animal domestication, food processing, hunting, environmental management, and the use of animals and plants in ceremony, crafts, and traditional medicine
• Application and integration of multiple lines of archaeological and paleoenvironmental evidence
• Incorporation of ethnographic and documentary information into studies of past relationships between humans and culturally important animals and plants
• Human paleoecology, including human impact on past environments
