OverviewBetween 2007 and 2014, a Greek-American team investigated an impressive array of Early Roman to Early Byzantine buildings and burials on the Koutsongila Ridge at Kenchreai, the eastern port of ancient Corinth. This volume presents the project's final results, revealing abundant evidence not only for the history of activity in a transitional urban/suburban landscape, but also for the society, economy, and religion of local residents. Important structural and mortuary discoveries abound, including a district of lavish houses with exquisite mosaic pavement and an Early Christian Octagon. The large artefactual assemblage encompasses a variety of objects from pottery and lamps to glass, coins, and jewellery. Bones and teeth from over 200 individuals illustrate differences in health over time, while thousands of bones and shells from a variety of animals attest to diet and subsistence. This study paints a picture of a Corinthian community, small but prosperous and well connected, actively participating in an urban elite culture expressed through decorative art and monumental architecture.

Table of ContentsReviewsInsgesamt stellt das Gesamtwerk aufgrund der reichhaltigen Sammlung archäologischer und anderer Zeugnisse sowie der ausgezeichneten Begleitmaterialien eine zentrale Ergänzung zu den bisherigen Forschungen in Kenchreai und m Isthmus von Korinth dar. . . . Besonders fruchtbar durfte dieses Werk jedoch nicht nur fur Forschungen zur lokalen Umgebung des antiken Kenchreai sein, sondern auch fur laufende und zukunftige Forschungen auf der nordöstlichen Peloponnes, darunter fur Arbeiten in Korinth, Lechaion und Isthmia. Fur nteressierte an Forschungen zu kustennahen Siedlungs- und Bestattungsplätzen und zu antiken Hafengebieten römischer und spätantiker Zeitphasen ist dieser Band eine besonders empfehlenswerte Lekture. Gleiches gilt fur Leser:innen, die sich im Allgemeinen mit diachronen Handelsbeziehungen im Mittelmeer oder im Speziellen mit der Region von Korinth bzw. der nördlichen Peloponnes befassen.
