SUMMARY:From Archetype to Ecosystem: Funerary Stelai and the Dynamics of Cultural Symbiosis
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers a broader outlook on the vast body of material of funerary stelai. Taking Classical Athens and Attica as a reference point for what defines our understanding of the archetypal stele form\, this workshop ventures a journey along the chronological and geographical axes from Classical and Hellenistic Macedonia to Roman northern Syria and Upper Mesopotamia. It explores how Classical forms underwent multiple transformations (μεταμορφώσεις) of their shaping parameters. The workshop will attempt to shift our perspective from strict binary conceptual models to a multi-cellular cosmos of cultural antithesis and symbiosis \nMyrina Kalaitzi\, from the National Hellenic Research Foundation\, is the Stanley J. Seeger Visiting Fellow\, Spring 2026.  Read her full biography on the Hellenic Studies website. \nRespondent: Nathan Arrington\, Art and Archaeology and Hellenic Studies \nBeverages and pastries will be served following the workshop. \nPlease register to attend.

SUMMARY:Recent Research at Mt. Lykaion and the Creation of the Parrhasian Heritage Park of the Peloponnesos
DESCRIPTION:Please see event details and registration here! \nCo-Sponsored by: Program in the Ancient World & Art and Archaeology \nRecent research at Mt. Lykaion\, both at the southern summit of the mountain at the Sanctuary of Zeus and in the lower mountain meadow at the Sanctuary of Pan \, is leading to new understandings about cult practices at this ancient site.  Work towards the creation of the Parrhasian Heritage Park of the Peloponnesos\, Greece’s first large scale national heritage park\, continues in order to unify and protect aspects of western Arcadia\, northern Messenia and western Elis\, around the Neda River valley. \nDavid Gilman Romano\, Ph.D.\, is Nicholas and Athena Karabots Professor of Greek Archaeology in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona where he directs the Archaeological Mapping Lab.  His interests include Greek and Roman cities and sanctuaries\, Greek and Roman athletics\, Roman centuriation and land planning and computer applications in archaeology. Dr. Romano has been a pioneer in computerized mapping\, digital cartography\, remote sensing and GIS in the study of ancient Greek and Romano cities and sanctuaries.  Since 2004 he has been Co-Director and Field Director of the Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project in Arcadia\, Greece\, and the Director of the Initiative for the creation of the Parrhasian Heritage Park of the Peloponnesos\, Greece’s first large scale national heritage park. He is also the Director of Digital Augustan Rome. His publications include Athletics and Mathematics in Archaic Corinth: The Origins of the Greek Stadion (1993)\, The Catalogue of the Classical Collection of the Glencairn Museum\, Bryn Athyn (1998) with Irene Bald Romano\, Mapping Augustan Rome (2002) in collaboration with Lothar Haselberger\, as well as a series of publications on the city and landscape planning of the Roman colony of Corinth and\, with Mary Voyatzis\, on the results of the excavations at the Sanctuary of Zeus at Mt. Lykaion.  Dr. Romano is the Co-Editor of the projected four-volume series on the results of the excavations at the Sanctuary of Zeus at Mt. Lykaion to be published through the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

SUMMARY:Petroglyphs\, Figurines\, and Pot Burials: The Mediterranean Connections of the Early Bronze Age Site at Vathy\, Astypalaia
DESCRIPTION:The site of Vathy on the island of Astypalaia\, Greece\, was strategically located along several maritime routes linking the prehistoric societies of the Aegean Sea. Recent excavations at Vathy have brought to light a site of major importance for our knowledge of Mediterranean cultures in the 4th- and 3rd-millennia BCE across a vast area\, from Anatolia to Iberia. The megalithic walls of the settlement are densely engraved with petroglyphs that point to a Mediterranean artistic “koine\,”a common visual language expressed in rock art. Moreover\, coastal enclosures served to contain carefully arranged infant pot burials that are paralleled by similar ritual depositions in Anatolia. Finally\, marble figurines found at the site connect Late Neolithic and Early Cycladic Aegean statuary with material from Anatolia and the broader Mediterranean world. \nAndreas Vlachopoulos is Associate Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of Ioannina where he has taught since 2009. His main research interests are the Mycenaean period in the Cyclades\, the Aegean rock art and the wall-paintings of Thera.  A longtime (1995 – present) collaborator of Professor Christos Doumas in the excavation at Akrotiri\, Thera\, Andreas Vlachopoulos is currently Director of the Vathy\, Astypalaia Archaeological Field Project\, sponsored by the Archaeological Society at Athens.  He is the author of a two-volume monograph on Naxos and the Mycenaean Aegean in the Post-Palatial Period (12th c. BC)\, the editor of two volumes on Aegean Prehistory (Argonautes\, 2003; Paintbrushes\, 2018) and of five volumes on Greek Archaeology (Melissa Publishing House\, Athens). \nCo-Sponsored by the Program in Archaeology and Program in the Ancient World
