Abstract:This article explores ways in which the increasing segmentation and specialization of domestic space in central and western Greece in the 8th–4th centuries b.c. relate to social complexity. Segmentation served to differentiate between members of a household, introducing different patterns in the use of space, both between men and women and between free and slave. The need for physical boundaries and architecturally specialized rooms intensified as the size and heterogeneity of communities increased, and stronger cues in the built environment were needed to ensure that behavioral conventions were observed. Other factors contributing to the increase in rooms include social stratification and economic specialization.

Abstract:ABSTRACTA wide, unpaved, north-south Roman road was established in the Panayia Field at Ancient Corinth in the last years of the 1st century b.c. Over the next six centuries, numerous civic and private construction activities altered its spatial organization, function as a transportation artery, and use for water and waste management. Changes included the installation and maintenance of sidewalks, curbs, drains, terracotta pipelines, and porches at doorways. The terracotta pipelines are presented here typologically in chronological sequence. The road elucidates early-colony land division at Corinth, urbanization into the 4th century a.d., and subsequent deurbanization in the 6th century, when maintenance of the road ended.

Abstract:This study presents the preliminary results of new excavations of Early Minoan III–Middle Minoan IA horizons at Priniatikos Pyrgos in East Crete. It argues that there is cumulative growth at this central settlement throughout the Early Minoan and earliest Middle Minoan phases that is mirrored in the surrounding settled landscape, but that this changed dramatically during the latter phase with declining prosperity at the site. To explore this, the character of occupation and craft traditions at Priniatikos Pyrgos are evaluated. It is concluded that the autonomy of this settlement as a local center was interrupted during Middle Minoan IB–II, reflecting a shift in power and governance.

Abstract:The Southeast Fountain House, consistently associated with the Peisistratids and often included among their additions to the built environment of Athens, stands at the center of a historical controversy surrounding the Late Archaic use of the Athenian Agora. Its identification and date have crucial ramifications for our understanding of the Agora in the late 6th and early 5th centuries b.c. A reappraisal of the pottery from the fountain house, overflow channels, and pipelines, together with an examination of the in situ architectural remains, demonstrates that the building should instead be placed among the earliest buildings of the new democracy; it is one of the structures that helped to define—both spatially and conceptually—the area of the new Agora.

Abstract:This article is the third in a series publishing the Hellenistic freestanding sculpture from the Athenian Agora. A statuette of Agathe Tyche (1) is apparently the last in a century-long sequence that begins with the impressive ex-Aphrodite, S 37; a woman wearing a headscarf (2) joins a small group of such pieces, including the famous “Slipper-Slapper” from Delos; six small heads and one archaistic kore (3–9) complement those Aphrodites published in Part 1 of this series; the Artemis (10) is identified as Artemis Boulaia, worshipped by the Boule from ca. 270; an Athena and Pan (11, 12) complete a trio of sculptures from a Hellenistic workshop in the Industrial District; and a small female herm (13) from the “Bone Well” is shown not to be Aphrodite Ourania, as often assumed, but a domestic statuette of Eileithyia, and reasons are proposed for its presence in the well.

Abstract: In the spring of 2001 the hilly uplands immediately northwest of the modern city of Durrës were for the first time investigated using the techniques of intensive surface survey. In total, an area of six square kilometers was explored and twenty-nine sites were defined, most of them new. Remains of Greek antiquity were plentiful and include unpublished inscriptions and graves. One site may be the location of a previously unknown Archaic temple. Included in this article are descriptions of the areas investigated, a list of sites, and a catalogue of the most diagnostic artifacts recovered. Patterns of settlement and land use are discussed and compared to those recorded by other surveys in Albania.

Abstract:In 1933, Dorothy Burr published a catalogue of a large Protoattic votive deposit located near the southwest corner of the Athenian Agora. Included within the deposit are a number of terracotta votive shields, horses, and chariots, as well as a remarkably well-preserved terracotta plaque depicting a “Mistress of Snakes.” There has long been a consensus among archaeologists that this votive assemblage is indicative of a cult of the dead. A reexamination of the deposit and its context suggests a rather different conclusion: the votives were dedications to Demeter, and came from the Eleusinion.

Abstract:Sir John Beazley used notebooks to record the vases he saw in European and American museums. Of these notebooks, 154 are kept in the Beazley Archive in Oxford. Most of these are undated, but they are known to span Beazley's career from 1907 until he abandoned them for a system of loose-leaf notes some 30 years later. The notebooks shed light on Beazley's formative period and on the development of the methodologies he used in his research. They are a good source of information about individual painters and works, as well as about the history of many art collections. The present article publishes this material and offers a reasoned chronology of the notebooks with the aim to foster further research on the subject.

Abstract:This article explores the evidence for the Corinthian family of calendars in light of the calendar recently discovered on the Metonic Spiral of the Antikythera Mechanism. It will be argued that the calendar on the Antikythera Mechanism cannot be that of Syracuse, and that it is likely to be the Epirote calendar, possibly adopted from Corinthian Ambrakia. It will also be argued that the first month of this calendar, Phoinikaios, was ideally the month in which the autumn equinox fell, and that the start-up of the calendar began shortly after the astronomical new moon of August 23, 205 B.C. It will also be shown that the sixth set of games on the Games Dial are the Halieia of Rhodes, suggesting that the Antikythera Mechanism was built on Rhodes, possibly for a client from Epiros. Finally, there will be other observations on the Doric calendars of Argos, Epidauros, and Rhodes.

Abstract:The Hellenistic Stoa of Attalos, reconstructed to serve as the Agora Museum at a time of intense American involvement in Greece, constitutes a prominent physical landmark at the site and, as such, a powerful means by which the American School of Classical Studies at Athens made its presence known in the landscape of the modern city. The author highlights the various meanings and values ascribed to the reconstruction process, its involvement in the politics of memory and forgetting, and its impact on institutional policy of the American School.
