Old Excavations, New Interpretations: The 2008–2013 Seasons of The Ohio State University Excavations at Isthmia
As the study of the Roman Bath nears completion, researchers at The Ohio State University Excavations at Isthmia have turned their attention to the larger context of this structure within the Sanctuary of Poseidon. A careful study of excavation records since the 1970s has uncovered evidence for buildings that predate the Roman Bath and prompts a reinterpretation of previous scholars' work. We argue that the construction of the bath was part of a more general renovation of the sanctuary, which likely involved the creation of a porticoed gymnasium. Most importantly, this report demonstrates that projects with long histories can make significant contributions to our understanding of sites through the study and publication of previously excavated evidence.

Commentary: Medieval and Post-Medieval Archaeology of Greece
Recent work by archaeologists emphasized the contributions of archaeological fieldwork to the study of post-classical Greece. This marks a significant departure from traditional approaches to the archaeology of Byzantium that tended to focus on art historical methods and architectural history. Despite these changes in the study of post-classical Greece, the issues of abandonment, continuity and change continue to play an important role both in ongoing debates and will undoubtedly influence future research priorities. Only collaboration among scholars who study historical archaeology in Greece and elsewhere will ensure the continued relevance of this field even as these long-standing debates wane in relevance.

The Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey: Integrated Methods for a Dynamic Landscape
From 1997 to 2003, the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey (EKAS) investigated a$350\\text{-}{\\rm km}^{2}$region east of the ancient city of Corinth, focusing primarily on the northern Corinthian plain. EKAS developed an interdisciplinary methodology that emphasizes novel applications of geological science, computer-based knowledge systems, and strategies for fieldwork and collaboration among experts. In this article, the research philosophies and methods are presented and their application illustrated with results from the survey. The historical development of one settlement, Kromna in the northern Corinthian plain, is examined in detail to demonstrate the interpretive potential of data collected by these methods.

Fortifications of Mount Oneion, Corinthia
Recent investigations on the Isthmus of Corinth by the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey (EKAS) have revealed a series of relatively humble fortifications situated along the ridge of Mt. Oneion, which forms the southern boundary of the Isthmus. These Late Classical-Early Hellenistic walls, along with a nearby series of later Venetian fortifications, were designed to block access to the south through several low passes. Controlling the passage of northern armies through the Isthmus to the Peloponnese was clearly a long-term strategic concern for diverse regional powers.
