Archaic Votive Figurines from the Sanctuary of Demeter at Corinth
This work-in-progress focuses on the archaic figurines from the Corinthian sanctuary of Demeter and Kore on Acrocorinth. These include “Daedalic” plaques, handmade figurines with mold-made heads, fully handmade, and fully mold-made figures. The broadly varied assemblage documents the introduction of figurines into Corinthian votive practice and the development of cult iconography

Beyond the Grave
Object biography is an analytical technique that traces the changing social meanings an object accumulates during its lifetime. This study of two Late Geometric pots from Argos and Thebes employs biographical methods to address the role played by material goods in contemporary social rituals. The decoration and burial context of both vessels attest discrete stages in the construction of the social identity of the deceased. A giant pyxis from Argo…
From Rulers' Dwellings to Temples
Significant Others
After a century of scholarship, Greek Geometric figural art continues to pose fundamental problems of identification and interpretation. The intractable nature of basic iconographic questions is in part the result of the historiographic circumstances that formed the present canon of major and minor Geometric works. This study focuses on the specific iconographic theme of the male-female couple and traces its disappearance from histories of Geomet…
A Greek Countryside
From Pasture to Polis
From Monkey to Man
Among the bronze votive offerings known from Greek sanctuaries of the eighth century occurs a type of figurine represented as sitting or squatting with elbows on knees and hands to mouth. Despite the formal consistency of a dozen such figures, their identity and meaning have remained unclear. The present study examines the known figurines together with a popular class of related pendants from northern Greece. This evidence demonstrates the adapta…
The Return of the Horse-Leader
The most characteristic motif of Argive Geometric vase painting, the so-called "horse-leader" figure, has evoked various interpretations in attempts to elucidate the nature of Geometric iconography. Recent scholarship has dispensed with earlier readings of the figure as a deity in favor of a secular reference to the Argive citizen, while relegating the accompanying horse and fish to the status of symbols of the Argolid's natural environment. The …
