, by Elizabeth Pemberton, focuses on Drain 1971-1, in the area of the later Roman Forum at Corinth, which produced an important group of terracotta figurines. These figurines show a great variety in style and type: some (for example, kore figures, banqueters, doves, a dog, and a snake stele) are typically votive, but others may have been fashioned for different purposes. The possible functions and primary contexts of these figurines are carefully considered along with the nature of the Drain deposit. A date at the end of the 4th century BCE provides an important terminus ante quem for the figurines.

, by Florence Liard, Miguel John Versluys, and Ayed Ben Amara, explores the circumstances and chronology of the emergence of lead-glazed pottery in the Late Hellenistic and Roman Mediterranean, a topic that remains heavily debated. This article presents a multidisciplinary discussion of pottery provenance and glazing technology based on the analysis of 94 samples from three sites: Mytilene, Athens, and Ostia. Through a critical review of published data and comparisons with other glazed ceramics, the emergence of lead-glazed pottery against the background of a highly interconnected, “global” world is discussed. As a result, the authors argue that mainland Greece played an important but hitherto unrecognized role in this development.

, by Theodore C. Eliopoulos, publishes for the first time a notebook and a report by the Greek archaeologist Nikolaos Laskaris. Both documents date to the spring of 1922, when Laskaris was supervising the American excavations at Sardis. Combined with additional archival material presented here, Laskaris’s writings contribute to our knowledge of Sardian archaeology, and at the same time illuminate the dire historical circumstances of the ongoing Greek-Turkish War that surrounded the campaign of that year.
