IFA Archaeology Journal

Welcome to this year’s edition of the Institute’s Archaeology Journal. This publication celebrates another vibrant excavation season, yielding numerous fascinating discoveries. In Aphrodisias, under the leadership of Roland R. R. Smith, a team of students and colleagues completed the excavation of Tetrapylon Street, begun in 2008. They also discovered a small restaurant with its furnishings intact. In Samothrace, under the direction of Bonna Wescoat, the team continued work on the hillside where James McCredie unearthed a deposit of plaster architectural moldings in 1995, with many Institute of Fine Arts students contributing to the documentation of the findings. In Selinunte, Clemente Marconi and his team conducted extensive investigations in the main urban sanctuary area on the Acropolis. Due to travel and research restrictions, Matthew Adams and his team were unable to visit Abydos, and Kathryn Howley and her team could not travel to Sanam. Our ongoing success in the archaeological program is made possible by the dedication of our exceptional faculty, students, close collaborators, and generous donors. We are excited to share this year’s exhilarating fieldwork discoveries and look forward to many groundbreaking achievements ahead!
