Extract

Archaeology in Greece has a long history of reporting epigraphic discoveries, and in recent years the print versions have highlighted a number of finds which have added little by little to our understanding of the history and topography of ancient Athens, including many of the reports now available online (see, for example, inscriptions helping to identify the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios [ID4053] and of Zeus Meilichios [Map 3, no. 1; ID4557], or new voting sherds from the Athenian procedure of ostracism [Map 3, no. 5; ID1877]). Archaeology in Greece Online tags epigraphic material within its reports, allowing the reader to search for inscriptions as a keyword and also by region (such as Attica). This review of recent Athenian epigraphic developments focuses on major finds of the last decade, in particular focusing on discoveries reported in periodicals and publications from Greece, which some may find difficult to access, and is of course a personal and only a small selection of the voluminous literature on the subject (for more thorough coverage readers are pointed to SEG, the superb annual review of all epigraphy-related publications).
