'Neolithic Anatolia: A Journey through the Archaeology of the First Farmers of Turkey' with Lilian Dogiama, April 21

Monday, April 21, 3-5 p.m. Loussac Library, Wilda Marston Theatre

The Neolithic Period (8,500-6,000 B.C.E.) is the first time in human history when people started taming wild animals and plants for food. During the 8th millennium B.C.E., early farmers started moving from the Near East to ancient Turkey, settling in communities and living in the first permanent housing. As such, the Neolithic forms the basis of modern life. Join us as we take a look at the lives of the first settled famers: how they organized their villages, how they built their homes and how they worshiped their gods and ancestors.
