Synopsis

The conference "Rethinking Archaic Sculpture" creates a forum to re-examine the corpus of sculpture from Archaic Greece, including how it is studied and the major questions that we ask of this material. Hosted in Nafplio at Harvard University's Center for Hellenic Studies in Greece, the event brings together an international group of interdisciplinary researchers, including both archaeologists working directly with unpublished or little-known excavated materials and scholars who seek to interrogate the theoretical, conceptual, or historiographic foundations of the field.
