---------------------------------
Next summer the American Chemical Society is sponsoring a conference on
chemical education, for which I have agreed to organize a symposium on the
teaching of archaeological chemistry -- that is, the design of meaningful
courses that introduce nonscientists to analytical techniques that are of
value to archaeologists. My purpose in posting this is to see if any
members of the list would be interested in participating, either directly
by giving a talk or indirectly by telling me what sorts of topics are
valuable/essential/a-dead- waste-of-time in such a course.
Thanks for your interest.

The abstract should clearly list the title, author(s), and author
affiliation(s) at the top of the page. The text of the abstract should
include brief statements of:
1) Cultural context (time period, geographical location, etc)\
2) Research objectives (based on the problem statement)
3) Analytical techniques employed
4.) Results and significance
References, if used, should be in the format of the journal ARCHAEOMETRY.
In a cover letter, please indicate the name and address of the
corresponding author.
All abstracts will be reviewed by a session convenor, who will recommend
whether to accept a paper and whether the paper should be in an oral or a
poster session.
Invited papers from the theme session, "Biological Remains and Organic
Residues," and selected, related papers from regular sessions, will be
published as the first volume of a new journal, to be announced at the
Symposium.
