ABOUT THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS

Established in 1881 by a consortium of nine American 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, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens is today the leading American research and teaching institute. The School has evolved beyond its original scope to pursue a multifaceted mission to advance knowl- edge of Greece from antiquity to the present, both within Greece and as pertaining to 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 in the country, and is actively engaged in supporting the investigation, preservation, and presenta- tion 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, representing 193 affiliated North American institutions of higher learning; and the leadership of its Athens-based Director and Princeton, New Jersey–based Execu- tive Director. This report summarizes the American School’s accomplishments in education, excavation, research, outreach, and publication during the academic year 2015–2016 and highlights several milestones that embody the School’s unique scope and mission.

In 2015–2016 the School—under the leadership of Director James Wright (Bryn Mawr College) and the oversight of Mellon Professor Kevin Daly (Bucknell University), with support from Assistant Director Dylan Rogers (University of Virginia); Guy Sanders, Director of the Excavations at Ancient Corinth; John Camp, Director of the Excavations of the Athenian Agora; and other School faculty and staff— welcomed 16 students representing 13 Mellon Professor Kevin Daly explains a site plan to the Regular members academics | 5

Further enriching the Regular Program were various informal academic presentations by School Members, scheduled by Mellon Professor Daly; a series of work- in-progress seminars organized by Gennadius Library Director Maria Georgopoulou; and the annual rich program of events offered by the School and other academic and cultural entities in Athens. (For a list of lectures and events hosted and/or organized by the School, see p. 21.) As it has done for so many since 1882, this year’s academic program gave the students a full year of discovery, exploration, and camaraderie.

Academic Research

Also admitted to the School in 2015–2016 were 29 Student Associate Members, young scholars conducting research in and around Greece under the auspices of the School in support of their dissertations, along with 37 Senior Associate Members pursuing independent research, 9 with support from School fellowships (see Appendix: Members of the School for a full list). Notable among them are the NEH Fellows, who bring diverse interests and engagement as senior scholars representing the full spectrum of Hellenic studies.

Summer Session

Patterned after the Regular Program trips, each six-week Summer Session is an intensive introduction to the most relevant archaeological sites and museums in Greece, from Palaeolithic to modern. Site visits are augmented by on-site lectures by dozens of experts in their field, drawn from the School, other foreign schools, and Greek ephorates of antiquities.

American School Inaugurates the New Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory

June 4, 2016, was a memorable day for the American School, as members of the School community gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the beautiful new building that now houses the Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science. The culmination of several years of planning, the dedicated laboratory facility represents the School’s recognition of the enormous potential for the natural sciences to elucidate numerous aspects of human history, as well as its commitment to ensuring that the Wiener Labora- tory is positioned to be a leader in the field of archaeological science. Approximately 400 people were in attendance for the historic event, including the President of the Hellenic Republic, Prokopios Pavlopoulos; U.S. Ambassador to Greece David Pearce; directors of the foreign archaeological schools; other distinguished guests; and American School faculty, staff, friends, and supporters. The new facility is the gift of visionary philanthropist Malcolm H. Wiener, an eminent Aegean prehistorian and Chairman of the School’s Board of Trustees. Founded in 1992, the Wiener Laboratory has become a renowned center for archaeological science, and the new building will maximize opportunities for increasing the impact of the research conducted there. The new structure includes state-of-the-art laboratories for sampling and analyzing organic and inorganic materials, as well as sufficient and proper storage for temporary and permanent collections and materials to be analyzed. Cutting-edge analytical equipment enables the Wiener Laboratory to host broad collaborative projects, more ambitious and of longer term than was previously possible, with other high-caliber institutions that have similar capacities and interests in the archaeological sciences.

Independent Auditors’ Report

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, 2016, 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 accor- dance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and main- tenance 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 stan- dards 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 fi- nancial 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 presenta- tion 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 account- ing 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, 2016, 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 2015 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated December 11, 2015. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
