Students recreate the pediment from the Temple of Aphaia on Aegina
The oldest and largest U.S. overseas research center, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens provides graduate students and scholars from affiliated North American colleges and universities a base for the advanced study of all aspects of Greek culture, from antiquity to the present day.
Topics in this issue include a gold necklace from the grave of the Griffin Warrior at Pylos, a Protoattic votive deposit from the Athenian Agora, the pediments and akroteria of the Hephaisteion, and Sir John Beazley’s notebooks.
The School has recently received three important gifts—each in the amount of $100,000—that reflect the generosity of the individuals who made them, as well as the scope of the School’s current projects and initiatives.
In light of new excavation finds and publications, NEH and ASCSA Fellow Jim Sickinger discusses his research related to the Athenian practice of ostracism.

"Looking at a map of Greece before and after the Regular Member program is the difference between looking at a poem before and after learning the language of its composition. What you see doesn’t change, but the difference in understanding is monumental.”
