PREFACE
The school of Physical Anthropology of the University of Barcelona was one of the first to develop in Spanish university life. Telesforo de Aranzadi(1860-1945) was the first Professor of Anthropology of the University of Barcelona. His scientific works were of great interest because of their anthropometric orientation and scientific methodology. Together with several prehistorians and archaeologists (Bosch Gimpera, Corominas, Batista y Roca, and Serra Vilaró), he founded the “Associació Catalana d’Antropologia, Etnologia i Prehistòria". With Hoyos Sainz he published in 1912 “Unidades y constantes de la Crania Hispanica”, a synthetic work of Spanish somatology.
Aranzadi’s successor in the Barcelona chair was Santiago Alcobé (1903-1977). He took part in scientific expeditions to the former Spanish colonies in Africa and to the high valleys of the Pyrenees. He ran the Institute for Anthropological and Genetic Research of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (Concejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC). He researched widely into human variability with a clearly genetic perspective and stressed statistic analysis.
Among the disciples of Dr Alcobé in the chair of Anthropology of the University of Barcelona the following can be singled out: Antonio Prevosti, José Pons, Miguel Fusté, Luís Sitges, Pascual Moreno, and Amparo Font. After the founding in 1977 of the Spanish Society of Biological Anthropology (Sociedad Española de Antropología Biológica, SEAB), initially as a section of the Royal Spanish Natural History Society and as from 1979 as an independent society, José Pons became its first president. Since then anthropological activity in Spain has been continuous and university study plans for anthropology were established. The latter were heavily influenced by the work carried out by José Pons, who was the master of many of the anthropologists currently active. He occupied the chairs of Anthropology of Oviedo (1962-1968), Madrid (1968-1973), and finally Barcelona (1973-1986), where he succeeded Alcobé. He is currently a retired Professor Emeritus of the Department of Animal Biology of the University of Barcelona, honorary president of the Spanish Society of Physical Anthropology (Sociedad Española de Antropología Física, SEAF), and an academician of the Barcelona Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The physical anthropologists of Barcelona have been involved in continuous teaching and research. In 1985 they organised the IV Congress of the SEAB, and twenty-six years later it is their pleasure to host the XVII congress, as they were almost bound to do because of their career path mentioned above. They have prepared a varied field of thematic areas and the most appropriate headquarters: the Faculty of Biology of the University of Barcelona.

BARCELONA
Barcelona, the capital of Cataluña, is a modern port and the birthplace of modernist architecture. With an antiquity of two thousand years, it is a dynamic, modern, and welcoming city open to all European currents.
Barcelona has a most interesting old part which is known as the Barrio Gótico because of the various medieval buildings to be found there. We recommend taking a stroll along these streets and through these squares, visiting the headquarters of official institutions such as the Casa de la Ciudad, the County Council building, Museums, etc., even if you have only one day. The Barrio Gótico includes alleys with Gothic churches and mansions, evocative patios such as that of the Casa del Arcediano, grand architectural complexes such as the Plaza del Rey with the former Palacio Real (Royal Palace), the viewpoint of King Martín, and the Chapel of Santa Águeda, which was built on the impressive Roman walls.
A walk along the famous Ramblas of Barcelona is a must. A pleasant hotchpotch of stalls of flowers, birds, and books fills this charming avenue that links the Plaza de Cataluña to the port. The Ramblas also offers street shows such as the living statues, together with a number of notable buildings; markets; newspaper kiosks, cafeterias; and restaurants.
The Sagrada Familiais one of the most impressive creations of the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí. This huge basilica in Neogothic style, the construction of which was initiated in 1882, is the most visited tourist attraction in the city. Other attractions include the outstanding houses La Pedrera(Casa Milà) and the highly coloured Batlló in which the bricks are curved, and the Parque Güell, which was laid out between 1900 and 1914 and is another of the dazzling architectural creations of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona.
Yet another attraction of our city is that of the avant-garde art of the Picasso Museum, MACBA (Contemporani Art), the Miró Foundation, and the Tàpies Foundation.

ACCOMMODATION
Our delegates will stay at the NH10 Universitat Hotel www.hotelh10universitat.com/.
Because of its central location very close to the central building of the University of Barcelona (where the congress will be inaugurated), to the Barrio Gótico, to the Ramblas, and to all kinds of metropolitan, commercial, and transport services, we suggest you consider it as accommodation. This four-star hotel guarantees a set price for our delegates of 120€ per night in a double room used by one person, including a buffet breakfast and taxes (8% VAT). There will also be a free daily transport system for the delegates to the congress.
The Third Circular for this congress will include a list of hotels recommended by the University of Barcelona.
PRESENTATION OF PAPERS
Oral Presentations
An exposition time of 10 minutes is planned plus 5 minutes of discussion. However, the authors may suggest the duration of their papers themselves; these times will be respected if circumstances permit. For the Power Point programme there will be a projector, a laser pointer, and a projector for transparencies. Presentations will not be accepted.
Posters
The dimensions of the posters will be 100 x 80 cm. The organisation will provide the necessary material for the affixing of the posters to the frames.
Instructions for the résumés
The résumés will be sent in the form of an attached document to the e-mail address seaf17@ub.edu or to seaf17@gmail.com before 1st February 2011. All résumés received before this deadline will be published in the SEAF Journal. After the date mentioned the résumés will be visible on the Intranet of the congress, to which all those registered will have access,
The résumés will be sent on the attached FORM in accordance with the following rules:
TITLE: Times Roman 14 italics
AUTHORS: Times Roman 14.
INSTITUTION: Times Roman 12.
(all without white lines and 6 separation pts between paragraphs)
TEXT: Times Roman 10, not broken up into paragraphs, without either images or bibliographical quotes.
Without tabulations or indentations of any kind.
The text must be no more than 20 lines and not less than 10.
Only résumés containing information on both results and discussion will be accepted.
Phrases such as “the results obtained are described” will not be accepted; they should read “the results obtained are…and they indicate that…”.
At least the first signatory must be registered with the congress.
The same author may submit only one piece of work as the first signatory.
Publication of the papers
As is stated in seaf17@ub.edu, the invited papers and the scientific communications will be published in electronic format. The Organising Committee of the 17th Congress of the SEAF intends to provide the delegates with the papers and communications IN THEIR DEFINITIVE VERSION on the day of the inauguration of the congress. For this reason the deadline for the reception of the latter will be 1st May 2011 so that the layout can immediately be established. The Minutes of the 17th Congress of the SEAF will not therefore be available on paper given the undeniable advantages of the electronic version as regards price, convenience, and ease of dissemination. If you prefer you can print your own communications on paper as the layout with be that of a standard printed book.
Publication rules
Work to be published must be no longer than 20 pages (including tables and figures; upper and lower margins of 2.5 cm, right and left margins of 3 cm), must use the Times New Roman 12 cpi font, and must follow the rules of the Spanish Journal of Physical Anthropology www3.unileon.es/seaf/reaf/authors.htm.
Work must be sent by e-mail to the address seaf17@ub.edu or to seaf17@gmail.com.
