, by Margaret M. Miles and Kathleen M. Lynch, examines the American excavations of the interior of the Hephaisteion and its surroundings, which were published in 1941. The authors reexamine the findings, the evidence for the foundations, the original notebooks, and the previously unpublished context pottery, and conclude that the Temple of Hephaistos and Athena was constructed in two stages: the foundations were laid ca. 480 BCE, and after a hiatus the superstructure was completed ca. 465–460 BCE, with repairs after the earthquake of 426 BCE. This article provides a new reconstruction of the interior space, finished without a colonnade, and with painted murals instead. The primary feature of the interior was the statue group, cult images of Athena and Hephaistos, made by Alkamenes of Lemnos and installed in 416/5 BCE.

, by Susan Langdon, brings focus to a subset of terracotta figurines from Corinth. Of the many innovations made by Corinthian coroplasts, the most distinctive may be the Classical-period jointed dolls. Scholarship connects the nude figures with the rituals of girls’ maturation and preparation for marriage. Largely overlooked are jointed dolls in chitoniskos and polos, presumed forerunners of the nudes. Over 40 specimens excavated at the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore on Acrocorinth offer an opportunity to understand the development of dolls within their Corinthian religious and social setting. This investigation reveals a dozen Archaizing types and tracks their dissemination across the Greek-speaking world. Far from a brief prelude to Classical dolls, the early figurines bear witness to cult developments and previously undetected rituals in Corinth.

, by Matthew D. C. Larsen, aims to offer a secure identification of the “Boudroumi” and the Northwest Shops in the Roman Forum at ancient Corinth as a site of incarceration in the Late Antique period. The identification is made based on both prisoner graffiti from the 5th to 6th century CE inscribed on slabs and the notebooks from the Corinth Excavations in 1901, which clarify that the slabs were discovered in situ and served as floor pavement. The small finds excavated from beneath the level of the pavement are analyzed to establish a terminus post quem for the repurposing of the structures into a prison, as well as the architectural changes made. Further, the structures’ reuse is contextualized within the broader history of Corinth.
