ABOUT THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS

The American School of Classical Studies at Athens was established in 1881 by a consortium of nine Ameri- can universities to foster the study of Greek thought and life and to enhance the education and experience of scholars seeking to become teachers of Greek. Since then it has become the leading American research and teaching institution in Greece, and indeed it is the largest of all the American overseas research centers.

Today, the School pursues a multifaceted mission to advance knowledge of Greece from antiquity to the present day, including its connections with other areas of the ancient and early modern world, by training young scholars, conducting and promoting archaeological fieldwork, providing resources for scholarly work, and disseminating research. The ASCSA is also charged by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports with primary responsibility for all American archaeological research, and is actively engaged in supporting the investigation, preservation, and presentation of Greece’s cultural heritage.

The American School operates under the stewardship of its Board of Trustees, the guidance of its Managing Committee, representing 192 affiliated North American institutions of higher learning, and the leadership of its Director in Athens and its Executive Director in Princeton.

This report covers the academic year 2014–2015, summarizing the School’s accomplishments in education, excavation, research, publication, and outreach. research | 3

The Regular Program

During academic year 2014–15, the School conducted a challenging and broad-based academic program under the leadership of School Director James C. Wright (Bryn Mawr Col- lege) and the oversight of Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Classical Studies Kevin F. Daly (Bucknell University). Sixteen graduate students representing 14 institutions were admitted to the program; 13 of these students received support from School fellowships. The Wiener Laboratory Director Takis Karkanas (kneeling) talks about stratigraphy nine-month Regular Program featured at Corinth, part of a new initiative to engage students in archaeological science. The School welcomed new Mellon Professor Kevin academics | 5 Daly (standing, right) from Bucknell University this academic year. Kevin is an epigrapher and became interested in archaeology while a Regular Member of the School. He served for nearly 15 years as an excavator in the Athenian Agora and currently codirects an excavation at Thebes.

Excavations at Ancient Corinth

Excavations at Corinth were once again conducted under the direction of Guy D. R. Sanders, with support from As- sistant Director Ioulia Tzonou-Herbst and Architect James Herbst. During 2014–15, excavation teams focused on the Frankish area south of Temple E and on the Agonotheteion (the office of the officials of the Isthmian Games), located in the South Stoa. The large numbers of coins retrieved from work in the Frankish area reinforced evidence for the construction date of At the end of the season Corinth Excavations staff welcomed visitors from CyArk, the church that was uncovered in past a nonprofit organization working on the creation of a free, publicly accessible seasons.

The Board of Trustees American School of Classical Studies at Athens

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Trustees of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (the School), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2015, 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 organization’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 organization’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, 2015, 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 2014 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated December 18, 2014. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
