Early-20th-century explorations of the Roman Forum at Corinth revealed a massive early imperial building now known as the Julian Basilica. Within it was one of the largest known shrines to the imperial cult and the likely site of the imperial court of law for the Roman province of Achaia.

Using materials from the ASCSA Archives and a large collection of photographs from the 1930s, this volume details the history of the negotiations, the expropriations, and, most importantly, the Vrysaki neighborhood itself.

This is the first official guidebook to the site of Ancient Corinth published by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 50 years. Fully updated with the most current information, color photos, maps, and plans, the Corinth Site Guide is an indispensable resource for the casual tourist or professional archaeologist new to the site.

The Temple of Athena at Sounion is one of the more unusual examples of Greek architecture. It was constructed with colonnades on only two-but adjacent-sides, and in the Ionic order characteristic of the Aegean Islands even though it was built in Attica.

In addition to a thorough examination of the contents of the Agora Bone Well, the authors provide a thoughtful analysis of the neighborhood in which the well was located and carefully compare the deposit with similar accumulations found elsewhere in the Mediterranean.

This volume represents the product of 25 years of study conducted by the Pylos Regional Archaeological Project in western Messenia in Greece.

This volume presents the Protogeometric through Hellenistic material (ca. 970-175 B.C.) from ASCSA excavations conducted in the 1950s at Lerna in the Argolid, one of the most important prehistoric sites in Greece

This volume is a long-awaited and much-needed addition to the Corinth series because the new "Panayia Field chronology" firmly dates Corinthian Hellenistic pottery. The significance of this work is not limited to ancient Corinth, but will be relevant for scholars studying other local pottery industries in the Peloponnese and beyond.

This volume of essays focuses principally on the collection of books of British and Irish antiquarian scholars held in the Gennadius Library.

In 2006, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens celebrates seventy five years of archaeological work in the Athenian Agora, the civic center of classical Athens. Since the first trench was dug on May 25th 1931, excavations have continued in a series of yearly campaigns, only briefly interrupted by the Second World War.

Publication of `the largest single archaeological site in Greece', the massive barrier wall built across the Isthmus of Corinth in the 5th century AD to hold back the northern barbarians. A full architectural analysis (including reconstructions) is supplemented by chapters on the geographical location and the history up to 1821.

This volume presents sculptural finds made by the University of Chicago at Isthmia during their excavations from 1952 to 1967.

Oscar Broneer's excavations at the Sanctuary of Isthmia between 1952 and 1960 revealed much about an important center of Greek civilization.

Using evidence from the Athenian Agora the authors show how objects discovered during excavations provide a vivid picture of women's lives. The book is structured according to the social roles women played-as owners of property, companions (in and outside of marriage), participants in ritual, craftspeople, producers, and consumers.

Although this booklet is based on broken pottery found during the excavation of the Agora, the author ranges far beyond the confines of Athens in her discussion of the purpose and significance of different amphora types.

Many types of written records are found in the Agora, and this booklet presents a sample of the more than 10,000 inventoried inscriptions written on stone.

This study focuses on the "saucer pyres," a series of 70 deposits excavated in the residential and industrial areas bordering the Athenian Agora.

A collection of papers on architectural terracottas revealing aspects of ancient history and the classical world from mainland Greece, Northern Greece and Albania, the Black Sea, Aegean Islands and Asia Minor, South Italy and Sicily.

Excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore on Acrocorinth, 1961-1975, produced more than 170 inscribed objects of stone, bronze, and bone, as well as lead weights, mosaics, dipinti and graffiti on pottery, clay pinakes, and magical lead tablets. All of the inscriptions in this volume are transcribed, and the author relates them to an overall interpretation of the activities, secular and religious, attested in this shrine during its long period of use from the 7th century B.C. until the end of the 4th century A.D. Where possible, the author also draws out their implications for and contribution to the history of ancient Corinth, the worship of the goddesses Demeter and Kore, and the practice of magic, especially in the Roman period. This is the final publication of all the inscribed objects from the sanctuary, excluding stamped amphora handles and loomweights, which will be included in a later fascicle.

The pottery, although frequently fragmentary, can often be assigned to known painters or workshops, and the deposits, especially in view of the defective pieces in them, can be argued to contain material almost exclusively of local manufacture.

This volume (with Corinth IX, ii) completes the presentation of the sculptures excavated from the Theatre in Ancient Corinth by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Most of the sculptures were discovered during the early campaigns of 1896, 1902-1910, and 1925-1929.

The Sanctuary of the Great Gods on Samothrace was one of the most important sanctuaries of the Hellenistic age. The monuments on the Eastern Hill, the development of which spans over half a millenium, hold a unique place within the history of ancient Greek architecture.

This volume, the first of two dealing with the Early Iron Age deposits from the Athenian Agora, publishes all the tombs from the end of the Bronze Age through the Late Geometric period. It will be an invaluable reference work for archaeologists and scholars of early Greece, and Athens in particular.

This volume presents a catalogue of some 400 lamps and fragments ranging from the Late Archaic to Byzantine periods discovered by excavations undertaken by UCLA/OSU at the Isthmian Sanctuary of Poseidon. The author's commentary on the types of lamps enriches our knowledge of their manufacture, use, and artistic evolution over time.

This volume presents the results of the medieval component of the regional survey conducted by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project.

This publication of 721 stamped amphora fragments from Thasos found in and around the Athenian Agora provides a study of the hands of the engravers who made the dies to stamp the amphoras and rooftiles, as well as a chronology of the officials mentioned on the stamps.

The analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in bone collagen provides a powerful tool for reconstructing past diets, since it provides the only direct evidence of the foods that were actually consumed.

This volume complements Lerna V: The Neolithic Pottery of Lerna, by K. D. Vitelli, and completes the primary publication of the results of the Neolithic remains retrieved during the excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens from 1952 through 1958 at Lerna in the Argolid.

The scraps of pottery on which were written the names of candidates for ostracism are one of the most intriguing pieces of evidence for ancient democracy found in the Athenian Agora. This book is a complete catalogue and discussion of these. Chapter One discusses the history of ostracism in Athens with brief remarks about the "candidates".
