  • 2015 Publications in Corinthian Studies: Prehistoric-Hellenistic Periods

    This is the first of a series of 5 bibliographic posts related in some way to Corinthian scholarship published or digitized in 2015. As with my series last year, I have used Zotero’s Report feature to export bibliography to PDF so that the listing includes URLs and abstracts. This list is certainly not exhaustive, and is surely incomplete, but it…

  • Bridge of the Untiring Sea (Gebhard and Gregory, eds.)

    I finally have my hands on Bridge of the Untiring Sea: the Corinthian Isthmus from Prehistory to Late Antiquity, fresh off the press (December 2015) from the Princeton office of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. I wrote briefly about this forthcoming book in June (here and here). The Bridge has been a long time in the making. It…

  • Zigzags (and Technology) in Early Corinth

    Live Science seems to have made something of the most recent Hesperia article on the Panayia Field by Guy Sanders, Sarah James, Ioulia Tzonou-Herbst, and James Herbst. The Hesperia piece from early 2014 offers an important synthetic overview of remains in the Panayia field dating from the Neolithic age to the Hellenistic period excavated in 1995-2007. The short piece from Live…

  • A Corinthian Pyxis Podcast

    At the start of a new semester at Messiah College, I have been looking for ways to make my lectures in the History of Western Civilization I a little more dynamic.  For example, I have spiced up old lectures about premodern economies by assigning all my students particular statuses (peasant, wealthy peasant, artisan, and elite)…

  • A Roman Road in the Panayia Field

    For most people who visit the site of Ancient Corinth, the Roman forum is the principal (if not only) destination.  Many visitors are unaware of the ancient buildings and ancient spaces scattered about the modern village and enclosed in chain-linked fences.  Temples, tombs, villas, walls, churches, amphitheater all highlight the urban world buried beneath the…

  • Service Excavations Unearth Corinth City Walls (and other buildings)

    Last week the Greek newspaper To Bima released a news article announcing new discoveries from excavations at the northern end of the village of Ancient Corinth.  The excavations, carried out by the Greek Archaeological Service in advance of the construction of the new Eleusis-Corinth-Patras highway, revealed part of Corinth’s ancient city wall dating to the Archaic age…
