Symposium on collaboration

Symposium

Engaging Conservation: Collaboration Across Disciplines
Penn Museum
Philadelphia
6-8 October 2016

The Conservation Department of the University of Pennsylvania Museum
of Archaeology and Anthropology (Penn Museum) is celebrating its
50th anniversary in the fall of 2016.  To commemorate the
establishment of the department, the Penn Museum is hosting a
symposium on issues relating to archaeology, anthropology, and
conservation.  The symposium will explore how conservation of these
materials has evolved over the past half century, the ways in which
conservators may inform and support the work of archaeologists and
anthropologists, and the development of cross-disciplinary
engagement.

The schedule includes two and a half days of talks, as well as a
reception and keynote address on the first evening.  Lunch and
reception are included in the registration price.
