  • Abstracts of the AIA / APA 2012 Meetings

    I had planned to post reviews of the AIA / APA meetings a little more than a week ago, but illness and the preparations for a new semester sapped all my momentum.  I have a lot of material in the queue including December scholarship monthly and the scholarship rolls of 2011 which I hope to…

  • Photos of the Eastern Korinthia Survey

    It was unfortunate that I took all of my photos of the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey using a camera loaded with print or slide film.  The survey was carried between 1998 and 2003, a time span corresponding with the rapid replacement of film cameras with digital cameras.  We used digital cameras every year of the…

  • Maps of the Corinthia

    Maps of the Corinthia are surprisingly rare via the internet, let alone maps of the ancient Corinthia. A google image search on “Korinthia” or “Corinthia” turns up two dozen very coarse road maps of the northeastern Peloponnese mainly produced or posted by tourist agencies. I have added a new section of this website, Maps of…
