Byzantine Corinth: 2011 Publications (and a note on relative frequency of Corinthiaka)
In originally separating the recent scholarship on Byzantine-Modern from the 2011 scholarship on Ancient Corinth, I had forgotten that the pickings were so few. This is a rather sad list (in terms of quantity), and I will combine these three entries in the permanent page for 2011 archaeology and historical publications. Bourbou, Chryssi, Benjamin T.…

Some More Corinthian Bodies
It was a pleasure to see another Corinthian article in this month’s American Journal of Archaeology. Betsey Robinson’s study of the Eutychia mosaic from Corinth introduces us to this frequently overlooked mosaic and another pair of Corinthian bodies. Fig. 2 (p. 106) Room C of the South Stoa at Corinth, viewed from the north, showing…

2011 Year in Review
Happy New Year from Corinthian Matters! WordPress has kindly provided an annual report of activities related to this blog over the last year, but I love to crunch data and I was curious to know a bit more about how people were finding and using this site—so I went to the statistics mine for more…

The latest issue of Expedition from the Penn Museum includes a preliminary report by C.K.
