Corinth Excavations has completed the final session of excavation and museum projects for the 2018 season. Excavation was conducted northeast of the Theater under the direction of Corinth Excavations Director Chris Pfaff with the goal of exploring the area between the Theater and Gymnasium. Corinth Excavations discovered 705 coins during the 2018 season-- a new record!

For the first time in 122 years, excavation recording at Corinth Excavations went digital. Using , the main recording tool of the , all notes, contexts, objects, plans, drawings, photos, and conservation files were integrated in one single platform. Excavation supervisors entered data directly from the field, simplifying the excavation process and allowing them to focus more time reading pottery, studying small finds, identifying coins, and savoring saganaki at ouzo hour.

Here is a summary of Corinth's major activities this spring, and be sure to view the slideshow of images below the educational programs infographic.

Manolis Papadakis organized the program with Discover Greek Culture for the CosmoteTV History channel. Children and families were introduced to excavation and conservation methods, and learned how to excavate, sieve, wash pottery, mend pottery, and see how artifacts end up in a museum. Kathimerini recently published a summary of the day's activities in an article titled "" or "". Pictures coming soon!

At the end of June, the artifacts in the most desperate need of new storage solutions were moved into Corinth Excavations’ New Apotheke.
