I finally had time this week to gather together the 2011 publications for various aspects of Corinth’s history. The first installment today includes about 3 dozen publications related to the history and archaeology of Corinth in antiquity, i.e., from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity. I will follow the rest of the week with sections on Medieval-Modern, Geology and Environment, and New Testament & Early Christian Studies.
As in my 2010 year in review, I created this list from Google alerts and Worldcat. Since neither of these is comprehensive, I do not claim that this list is exhaustive. Nonetheless, it is probably a fair representation of the materials published in the last year. The list focuses on academic publications (books, articles, and dissertations) that relate directly to the archaeology and history of the Corinthia, or refer frequently to Corinth. It excludes conference papers, master’s theses, historical fiction, and general works that indirectly touch on Corinth (i.e., some of the material that I do usually include in Corinthian Scholarship (monthly)).
If you published on material in 2011 that is relevant to the list, please send my way along with links if available. The updated list will live permanently here.
Thanks to Messiah College Historymajor Amanda Mylin for help in putting this together.
