Founded in 1881, the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ is the oldest American overseas research institute. It has hosted and trained hundreds of classical scholars and archaeologists and more recently expanded its mission to include Byzantine and later Greek history and culture. This book, compiled by the School’s first female director in its 140 years, traces for the first time the growing presence and prestige of this academic facility, which sponsors the long-term excavations of ancient Corinth and the Athenian Agora as well as one of the most important laboratories for archaeological science in Europe.
About the Author: Jenifer Neils is the former director of the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and the Elsie B. Smith Professor in the Liberal Arts emerita at Case Western Reserve University.
