This symposium will be held as part of the large conference called
Material Science and Technology 2016, MS&T16, in Salt Lake City,
Utah in October 23-27, 2016, a major umbrella conference for many
professional societies.  Conference attendees will be exposed to the
latest materials research, presented by international and domestic
experts.

The Art and Cultural Heritage: Discoveries and Education symposium
will highlight both the latest discoveries in the scientific study
of cultural heritage, and showcase novel strategies that employ
cultural heritage for education in engineering and science.  This
two day symposium will feature the newest findings surrounding the
technology, engineering and materials associated with art,
archaeology and cultural heritage, including pigments, ceramics,
glass, and metals.  Equally, submissions that explore innovative
approaches to training and learning at the intersection of
engineering, science, technology and cultural heritage are most
welcome.  All submissions that pertain to the scientific study of
cultural heritage, or advance its understanding and preservation,
will be considered.

Student support is available, and bursary decisions will be made in
the late summer of 2016.  This symposium is sponsored by the Art,
Archaeology and Conservation Science Division of the American
Ceramic Society, and it is organized by Dr. Darryl Butt,
Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at
Boise State University and Glenn Gates, Conservation Scientist,
Walters Art Museum.
