Since 2004 we have worked with the staff of the University Museum of Archaeology and anthropology to present a one-day workshop on materials science applied to archaeology. The workshop consists of a series of lectures on archaeochemistry, archaeometallurgy and archaeoceramics coupled with lab tours of LRSM and museum facilities, culminating in a tour of a local bronze casting foundry. Registration is vi an on-line application form.
The 9th Workshop will take place on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at the Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter, see attached flyer. For further information or registration, contact Andrew R. McGhie at 215-898-6461 or mcghie@lrsm.upenn.edu.
