“Urban Planning, Ancient Ruins”: U-M Museum of Natural History Science Café/Conor O’Neill’s Irish Pub
U-M archaeology professor Chris Ratté, Director of the Notion Archaeological Project, and U-M architecture professor Kathy Velikov discuss their work in the ancient city of Notion, on the western coast of Turkey. Inhabited from the 3rd century BC to the 1st century AD, and mentioned by such ancient authors as Aristotle and Livy, the site needs modern amenities for scholars and the public. Cue an unlikely collaboration between archaeologist and architect. Hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m. 6–7:30 p.m., 318 S. Main. Free; drink purchases encouraged. Seating limited, so come early. (734) 764–0478.
