Archaeology often explores the lives of great warriors, queens, and philosophers. But the most interesting stuff happens in the kitchens and back alleys. Join us on June 8 for stories about four ordinary women who lived in four ancient cities that defined the modern world, and tales from four lost cities, with Annalee Newitz, science journalist and author of Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age, followed by a conversation and Q&A about the behind-the-scenes stories from their travels to explore the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük in Central Turkey, the Roman vacation town of Pompeii on Italy’s southern coast, the medieval megacity of Angkor in Cambodia, and the indigenous metropolis Cahokia, which stood beside the Mississippi River where East St. Louis is today.
