Eastern Analytical Symposium--addendum

Conservation Science Technical Sessions at the Eastern Analytical
Symposium

1997 Conservation Science Technical Sessions are scheduled for
November 18, 1997 at the Eastern Analytical Symposium. Session
Chairs are John Scott of New York Conservation Center, and Dr.
Jonathan Leader of the S. Carolina Institute of Archaeology and
Anthropology.

Since 1994, the EAS Program Committee and other sponsors have
supported a full day of invited papers on analytical methods and
technology used in conservation science. EAS is an international
professional meeting for analytical chemists, and its five-day
program covers many areas of instrumental analysis, with many
technical sessions of invited and contributed papers, a group of
short courses, a group of workshops, a group of tutorials, a
commercial exposition of current tech- nology in analytical
intrumentation, and several social events.  EAS meets in November
each year at a convention center near New Brunswick and Rutgers
University in New Jersey, USA. EAS is organized and administered by
the non-profit EAS Governing Board.

Dr. Leader's morning session presents methods for non-destructive
analysis of historic shipwrecks and other submerged cultural
resources. John Scott's afternoon session presents art conservation
analytical methods, field applications and technical studies.
