VOLUME XVI

MEDIAEVAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE CENTRAL AREA OF CORINTH

By ROBERT L. SCRANTON

There is gathered together here all the available evidence for buildings, streets, and squares in the area of the Classical Agora and the Lechalon Road of Corinth from the end of antiquity up to the mid nine- teenth century. Most of the walls no longer exist, but all records of post-classical construction found in the sixty years of digging in that area have been brought together and presented in both text and plan, with an attempt to identify and interpret each construction. In Part I material is divided chronologically, with chapters on the Early Christian Period, the Age of Barbarism, the Byzantine Recovery, the Full Byzantine Period and the Frankish Period; with each chapter the whole area is div'ided topographically after a brief historiial introduction for each period. Part II treats the material typologically with chapters on Techniques of Construction, Ornament, and Plans and Types of Buildings. The chapter on ornament catalogues 191 pieces representative of the mass of fragments found in the area, most of them re-used so without context of significance, but interesting as an indication of general Corinthian style in ornament; they are largely from the early Christian centuries.

The picture of the market and commercial area of Corinth with some domestic quarters interspersed in the several successive periods adds considerably to our knowledge of secular construction and planning in Greece in those periods-specially the twelfth century.

Published April, 1957. xvi + 147 pages with 15 figure in the text, 36 plates, 7 plans. Quarto. Cloth. $;10.00.

VOLUME IV

GREEK LAMPS AND THEIR SURVIVALS By RICHARD HUBBARD HOWLAND

In this publication of the terracotta lamps found in the Athenian Agora dating from the 7th century to 86 B.C. a new series of types is established. Early Roman lamps which are survivals of Hellenistic forms are included in the fifty-eight types and sub-divisions. These types are based on a study of many hundreds of lamps found in the excavations, only a selection of which are here catalogued. After an Introduction summarizing conclusions on lamp-makers, lamp types and inscriptions, the material is arranged by type. For each type the characteristics are described in detail and notable foreign connections are indicated; a brief catalogue of examples follows. Signed bases are given special attention. An Index of the dated deposits from which the lamps came and which yielded so much evidence for the chronology, a concordance listing the types of many lamps not catalogued, and a concordance of Broneer and Agora types air added. The plates include photographs of most of the catalogued items and full-sized profiles of many, plus drawings of all grafitti and signatures.

The unusually precise evidence for chronology offered by the Agora lamps makes this volume of outstanding value to the field archaeologist. The new detailed typology will be of great service to all to whom lamps of Athenian manufacture are of concern whether directly or indirectly. Epigraphers will appreciate the prosopography in the numerous signatures. In the broad historical picture, moreover, these lamps veritably shed welcome light on trade relations between Athens and other Mediterranean centers, on the financial situation in Athens in certain periods, as well as on the artistic interests and tastes of the populace.

Published June, 1958. ix 252 pp., 56 pls., chart. Quarto. Cloth. $12.50.

VOLUME III

LITERARY AND EPIGRAPHICAL TESTIMONIA By R. E. WYCHERLEY

Here are presented all the ancient written references, both literary and epigraphical, to the agora (including its environs) and its monuments. The Introduction summarizes chronologically the authors cited, evaluating the contributions of each. The texts are given in the original Greek or Latin, followed by a translation and a commentary. They are grouped in parts: the Stoas, Shrines, Public Buildings and Offices, Market, Honorary Statues, Miscellaneous including Boundaries, Trees, Kerameikos, Panathenaic Street, Old Agora. Within each part the monuments are arranged alphabetically and under each monument the texts are listed alphabetically by author with inscriptions at the end. Many texts not given numbers in this order are included in the archaeological and topographical commentaries. Each section on a monument opens with a brief synopsis of the evidence contained in the texts which follow. The Index of Authors gives dates and editions as wel as passages and inscriptions cited and is followed by an Index of Subjects. The plates show plans of the agora and its environs and of the route of Pausanias.

This collection of texts conceming a site of prime artistic, philosophical and political importance will fill a need long felt by students of all phases of the ancient Greek world. Its range in time (from the earlie-st written references in the 5th century H.C. through the Byzantine writers and lexica of as late as the 15th century), its completeness (many obscure texts are here available and epigraphical material found in the Excavations of the Athenian Agora up through the summer of 1957 are included), and its judiciously selected archaeological commentary make this volume invaluable not only as hady reference to the texts but equally for an uderstanding of the significance of those texts, which must be studied in connection with the results of the excavation of the area to give the true picture of its place and meaning in the history of CiVl.ilization.

Published December, 1957. x 259 pp., 4 pls. Quarto. Cloth. $10.00.
