Final report on the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age evidence
(pottery, metalwork, terracottas, architecture and other
constructions) from excavations conducted by the University of
Chicago at the sanctuary of Poseidon at Isthmia between 1952 and
1989. Stylistic analysis of artifacts offers important new
information on Corinthian production: Isthmia has produced the
first substantial collection of Early Iron Age Corinthian
terracottas, for example, as well as 8th-century human figure
depictions. Functional analysis, developing established methodology
for site characterization, distinguishes Late Bronze Age settlement
from Early Iron Age cult activity. Thus Isthmia may be counted
among the growing number of Greek shrines established during the
Bronze Age/Iron Age transition, and the nature and variety of cult
practices at the site may be compared with those elsewhere. In its
Corinthian context, Isthmia offers unique insights into 800 years
of development, from Mycenaean province to Archaic polis.
