SAP Surveys

The SAP regularly conducts surveys among its members and the scientific community.

Decennial surveys on the composition of the SAP

Every 10 years, the SAP conducts a survey to provide a snapshot of its membership composition based on various criteria. It also gathers feedback on several points, providing the Board with direct information from members to guide actions that evolve the society in line with their wishes. The diachronic perspective of these surveys also allows for tracking the evolution of SAP membership and, through them, the landscape of biological anthropology and archaeo-anthropology in France.
