The Corinth Excavations were the subject of many papers at the 2008 AIA Meetings in Chicago. Amelia Brown (University of California, Berkeley) and Jamieson Donati organized a very successful colloquium entitled “Corinthian Horizons: Space, Society and the Sacred in Ancient Corinth”. The session featured the work of five graduate students working on Corinthian material. The discussant was Professor Joe Rife co-director of the new excavations at Kenchries and was well attended by leading scholars of Corinth including Kathleen Slane, Betsy Gebhard, and Martha Rizzer to name a few. Amelia introduced the session:

Jamieson C. Donati (Institute of Fine Arts, New York University) “Placing the Corinthian Agora: Urban Environment and Civic Space in Archaic and Classical Corinth”
