February Lecture - Egyptian Blue, humanity's first inorganic pigment

Egyptian Blue first made an appearance over 5,000 years ago as the world's earliest synthetic pigment made from heating sand, lime, copper minerals, and alkali to form a brilliant blue. Professor John McCloy, Washington State University, will discuss the results from a study done in collaboration with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institue to recreate Egyptian Blue.   

The Spokane Chapter of the AIA is proud to provide a lecture series from September - April on various archaeological topics. The AIA promotes archaeological inquiry and public understanding of the material record of the human past to foster an appreciation of diverse cultures and our shared humanity.
