Corinth VII.7 Hellenistic Pottery: The Fine Wares, 2018

Roger Edwards in Corinth VII.3 (1975). This new research, based on quantitative analysis of over 50 deposits, demonstrates that the date range for most fine-ware shapes should be lowered by 50-100 years. Contrary to previous assumptions, it is now possible to argue that local ceramic production continued in Corinth during the interim period between the destruction of the city in 146 B.C. and when it was refounded as a Roman colony in 44 B.C. This volume includes detailed shape studies and a comprehensive catalogue. With its presentation of this revised "Panayia Field chronology," Corinth VII.7 is a long-awaited and much-needed addition to the Corinth series.

Neolithic pottery, an Early Protogeometric grave, an Archaic votive pit, and a possible industrial installation cut into the bedrock give insights into the landscape before the construction of the stoa. Construction trenches and a foundation deposit of a coin hoard provide a date in the 280s B.C. for the first building activities at the stoa’s east end. Roman-era finds shed light on the history of room C from the later 1st to the 5th century A.D.

The authors of this article report on the recent investigation by the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey of two towers and fortifications in the region of Vayia in the southeast Corinthia. By integrating topographic study, intensive survey, and architectural analysis, they that these three sites served to guard an economically productive the Corinthian countryside and to protect - or block - major maritime land routes into the region

More 120 lamps form the core of this research, which were re-categorized with reference to current classification systems and organized into fabric groups. Using Bruneau's typology, this work shows that the most common lamps are Corinth are his Type II, V, and VII. While the macroscopic fabric studies have revealed at least three categories of imported Ephesos-type lamps at the site which may connected to different Asia Minor production centers, as well as an important new class of local imitations.
