ABOUT THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS

Founded in 1881, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens is the oldest and largest U.S. overseas research institution. A consortium of nearly 200 North American colleges and universities, the School provides graduate students and scholars a base for the advanced study of all aspects of Greek culture, from antiquity to the present day. The School remains, as its founders envisioned, primarily a privately funded, nonprofit educational and cultural center dedicated to preserving and promoting Greece’s rich heritage. The mission of the School is to advance knowledge of Greece (and related Mediterranean areas) in all periods by training young scholars, sponsoring and promoting archaeological fieldwork, providing resources for scholarly work, and disseminating research. The School is also charged by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports with primary responsibility for all American archaeological research in the country and is actively engaged in supporting the investigation, preservation, and presentation of Greece’s cultural heritage. The School conducts these broad and cross-disciplinary operations under the stewardship of its Board of Trustees, the guidance of its Managing Committee, and the leadership of its Director of the School in Athens, Greece, and Executive Director in Princeton, New Jersey. This report covers the academic year 2019–2020, summarizing the School’s accomplishments in education, excavation, research, publications, outreach, and public programming, and outlining the School’s progress in strengthening its position as one of the preeminent centers for the study of the Greek world. | 5

Fachard reported that this reversed approach to the Regular Program was successful and offered significant advantages over the traditional schedule. These changes ended up being minimal compared to the significant disruption provoked by the coronavirus. An abrupt termination of the Regular Program occurred on March 13, when students were on the Crete trip (led by Eric Driscoll, Assistant Director Eric Driscoll (far right) guides students at the Kerameikos Academic programs | 7

In addition to this six- week session, the School also offers two shorter, three-week seminars. Nigel Kennell of the University of British Columbia led 12 students on a seminar entitled “Finding the Spartans.” In keeping with the fame of early Spartan poets like Tyrtaeus and Alcman, the group started each day with a limerick by the renowned British early traveler in Greece, Edward Lear, and wrote many original verses as they traversed more than 1,880 kilometers of Laconia, the Peloponnese, and central Greece. Alongside Sparta itself, the group visited numerous other sites, including an oracular cave at Cape Tainaron, the “throne of Apollo” at Amyklai, the walls of Geraki, and Thouria, the site of a theater with a wheeled scene building as is also seen at Sparta itself.

In 2020, only the excavations at Corinth and Megalopolis C were able to perform fieldwork. athenian agora

Director John Camp supervised the usual excavation season at the Agora with a crew of 65 student volunteers and six supervisors (Laura Gawlinski, Marcie Handler, Brian Martens, Allene Seet, Miltos Kylindreas, and Nicholas Seetin). As in past years, excavations were conducted in and around the Stoa Poikile, or Painted Stoa. Behind the building to the north, the excavation of another collapsed Mycenaean chamber tomb was completed; like the other five tombs found in the area, tomb J 1:10 dates to the 14th century B.C. In front of the stoa, just south of the Eridanos River, the excavations continued to explore part of an enclosure made up of orthostates of poros limestone and the later Roman brick-lined tank set within it. An inscribed marble base of the 4th century B.C. was recovered, carrying Roman tank, from the east: (A) large statue base; (B) dedication to Leos (I 7665); (C) a dedication by epimeletes to the hero Eukles base (I 7650).

uncovered a rectangular room (probably 12th century), part of which was built above an earlier Roman room paved with large marble floor slabs and provided with marble revetted benches along its walls. The construction date of this structure is yet to be determined, but finds above the floor suggest a 7th- century destruction. Given the room’s proximity (less than 30 meters) to a large Roman building identified as a bathing complex (the Baths North of the Theater), it is tempting to conclude that the newly revealed Roman room is an extension of that building, though further excavation is needed. Drone photography was carried out in several areas within the main site and beyond to produce aerial orthophotos and 3D models.

OUTREACH

n important goal for the American School is to broaden awareness of our institution worldwide.A In 2019, the School hosted its regular program of lectures, conferences, exhibitions, and concerts, but the pandemic in 2020 led to the cancellation of many in-person events. The School responded by launching a series of highly successful live webinars (Q) and online campaigns to continue engaging audiences virtually.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Trustees Trustees of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens: We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Trustees of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (the School), which comprise the financial position as of June 30, 2020, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trustees of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens as of June 30, 2020, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Report on Summarized Comparative Information We have previously audited the Trustees of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens 2019 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated November 1, 2019. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived before the adjustments to adopt ASU 2016-18. As part of our audit of the 2020 financial statements, we also audited the adjustments described in note 1(m) that were applied to adopt ASU 2016-18 retrospectively in the 2019 financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied.
