Chemistry education centered on art and archaeology provides a unique platform to teach core concepts and instrumental methods while integrating cultural literacy within the curriculum. From characterizing pigment degradation to authenticating artifacts, chemistry plays a critical role in reconstructing and preserving humanity’s complex material culture. Art and archaeology derived curricula and content provide a means to demonstrate chemistry’s crosscutting applications and infuse courses with authentic applications of key instrumental techniques, synthetic methods, and key concepts. This symposium will feature talks that highlight materials derived from the interdisciplinary intersection of chemistry, art and archaeology and describe how these materials can enhance chemical education within the classroom and laboratory for both majors and nonmajors. Presenters from high school and two and four-year institutions are invited to share curricula, laboratory experiments, and lectures that integrate these topics across the undergraduate curriculum.
