In addition, the regional survey begun in 1993 was continued with a study visit to a newly discovered site in the Maeander River valley; two new inscriptions from the site …
Archaeological Research at Aphrodisias in Caria, 1995
New York University's campaign of archaeological research at Aphrodisias in 1995 consisted of field projects designed to investigate the city's urban plan, including excavation, architectural recording, and geophysical survey; an intensive program of sculpture documentation; and a major conservation project to restore and display a nearly complete Roman togate portrait statue of the mid-second century A.

Archaeological Research at Aphrodisias in Caria, 1993
The year 1993 saw the third season of archaeological research at Aphrodisias in Caria since the death of Kenan Erim. The New York University team undertook a regional survey, completed a new plan of the city, initiated a new program of site recording combined with limited excavation, pursued intensive documentation of the earlier finds, particularly the sculpture, began construction of a new conservation workshop, and carried out a major restorat…
Archaic Architectural Terracottas from Sector Byzfort at Sardis
Anthemion Stelae from Sardis
Anthemion stelae of the Archaic and Early Classical periods—tall gravestones crowned by volute-palmette designs—are found at many sites in Greece and western Asia Minor. This article presents five previously unpublished fragments from Sardis in Lydia and two gravestones discovered in 1912 but never thoroughly described, bringing to at least 10 the total number of such stelae found at Sardis. Most of these are only fragments, and none bears any tr…
Five Lydian Felines
Archaic and Classical Lydia's "national" symbol was the lion. The importance of the lion-symbol is attested in archaeology by its appearance on Lydian coins and by its popularity in Lydian sculpture. Four additions to the corpus of Lydian lions are presented in this article. Like most other Lydian lions, these four unpublished statues were all found out of context; they are datable, however, on the basis of stylistic comparisons to East Greek lio…
An Early Imperial Pseudodipteral Temple at Sardis
The building conventionally referred to as the Early Imperial Temple was discovered and excavated during the 1981 and 1982 seasons at Sardis. Only one corner of the external colonnade has been uncovered; it is preserved to stylobate level with parts of two bases and one column in situ; no other upper parts are preserved. On the basis of architectural form it is tentatively restored as a pseudodipteral temple of the early- or mid-first century A. …
