SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Role of Proboscideans in Late Pleistocene Food  Systems of North America
DESCRIPTION:From sites located across North America we know that proboscideans (mammoth\, mastodons\, and their kin) were butchered and used by Pleistocene foragers\, but what role did these animals play in the food systems of these communities? The identification and excavation of a domestic camp associated with butchered mammoth remains at the La Prele Mammoth site (Wyoming) allows us to reach past typical questions focusing on subsistence and technology into larger inquiries about Pleistocene foragers including understanding social organization\, cooperation\, and group mobility. New research incorporating these questions at additional Ice Age sites can help us to better understand how people used proboscideans as a food resource\, their importance in past lifeways\, and what changed when they went extinct. This presentation will discuss how we can reach beyond butchery in the Pleistocene to better understand the relationship between foragers and their environment.

SUMMARY:Performance:Vinson Lam\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Vinson Lam performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Earplugs are available from the carillonist upon request. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon: https://smtd.umich.edu/facilities/ann-and-robert-h-lurie-carillon/
