Notion in Ionia: An International Symposium at the University of Michigan
Advertisement
The cultural history of Ionia in western Türkiye resonates with many of the major concerns of contemporary Mediterranean archaeology: the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age; different modes of human mobility, including migration and colonization; interaction between the Greek world and the Near East, especially in the Persian era; the evolution of the city, in particular the Greek polis in the Hellenistic period; Roman imperialism and its effects on subject peoples; and religious and economic change in late antiquity. Recent research in the region of the Hales River valley, dominated by the inland city of Colophon, the port town of Notion, and the rural sanctuary of Apollo at Claros, has shed new light on all these subjects.
This two-day symposium at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology examines the results of ongoing survey and excavation at Notion in the context of its larger regional and supra-regional environments. Free and open to the public, the event will also focus on intellectual collaboration between Turkish and American students and scholars.
