  • Investigating the West Hall of the Theater at Corinth

    When Hesperia arrives with a new Corinth article, it is sort of like Christmas (or maybe Columbus Day) in my household. In this most recent issue (82.3), the former director of Corinth Excavations, Charles Williams, documented his recent excavations in the northern area of the theater. The article sought to integrate the results of recent…

  • Corinth in Contrast

    I was pleased to see via FB that Corinth in Contrast: Studies in Inequality went live this morning at Brill’s website—a month in advance of the annual meeting of the SBL in Baltimore and well in advance of the AIA meeting in Chicago. (So look for the book if you will attend one of these…

  • West of Theater in Corinth

    Hesperia 82.3 just posted at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens website. The new issue includes an article by C.K. Williams II titled “Corinth, 2011: Investigation of the West Hall of the Theater.” The article comprises an overview of the work carried out by the ASCSA Corinth Excavations west of the theater in…

  • Workshop: Ancient Corinth and Roman City Planning

    It’s not often that ancient workshops about Ancient Corinth come to south-central Pennsylvania. If you’re in driving range of Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA, come out on November 16. I hope to be there myself. Below are details from the Classical Studies Department at Dickinson. *********************************************************** The Dickinson College Department of Classical Studies will sponsor…

  • Build a Corinth Library for (Almost) Nothing

    Anyone who has purchased excavation volumes for a personal library knows how expensive they can be. I was proud of myself last year for finding used copies of some of the Corinth and Isthmia series (American School of Classical Studies at Athens) for under $20. Hence my surprise yesterday when I saw that for a…

  • The Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore Inscriptions Published

    Just saw the good news that Ronald Stroud’s volume (Corinth XVIII.6) on the inscriptions from the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore on the lower slopes of Acrocorinth is now published and available for purchase. Details below from Andrew Reinhard at the ASCSA Publication Office.         Excavations conducted by the American School of…

  • News from the American School of Classical Studies

    Over the next few weeks, I will be updating the site with some of the news bits, stories, and blog pieces that posted in the last six months. All of the following will be old news to those who follow the Corinthian Studies facebook page or the news feed of the ASCSA webpage, but for…

  • Cattle Bones at Corinth

    It doesn’t get any more exciting than a heap of cattle bones. I stumbled upon this story by accident yesterday when I checked a twitter feed, but might have seen the full academic talk on the subject had I attended the AIA last weekend. The story that hit Discovery News yesterday, “Heap of Cattle Bones…

  • Blegen’s Notebooks at Korakou

    Despite the growing number of ancient world blogs, it is still relatively uncommon for scholars to think of the blog as an acceptable or appropriate medium for communicating their research. I keep a small list of scholarly blogs about ancient and medieval Greece in a list on the right side of this site – scroll…
