This symposium will provide a multidisciplinary forum for scientific and technological issues in art, archaeology, conservation, and preservation. Of particular interest will be contributions which explore the interface and overlap among traditional materials science, the history of technology, and the archaeological and conservation sciences, or that investigate new methods and applications of materials science in art and archaeology. Some areas of interest for this symposium are:

ANCIENT AND HISTORICAL MATERIALS TECHNOLOGIES

CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION SCIENCE
