Papers of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (6.1890-1897 (1897))

PREFACE.

The present volume represents the work of the American
School of Classical Studies at Athens from the summer of 1890
to that of 1897. All the papers here collected have appeared
already in the American Journal of Archaeology. The present
Committee on Publications is responsible only for those papers
which appeared after the summer of 1893. This change in
editorship during the appearance of the papers forming the
volume, together with changes in the place of publication of
the American Journal of Archaeology, and in the firms electro-
typing the articles as they successively appeared, has made it
impossible for the present editorial committee to secure unity
of form in expression or typography. What unity has been
secured is due to extensive alterations of the plates, a thankless
task, but cheerfully undertaken for the Committee by the
present publishers. It is hoped that even in its outward form
the volume may not unworthily conclude the series. Its con-
tents certainly testify to broadening activity and scholarship
on the part of managers and members of the School. Further
papers on the excavations of the School at the Argive
Heraeum will probably form a special volume, published
under the auspices of the Institute. The Institute is also
to publish in independent form the future papers of the
School.
