SCOPE AND CONTENT

The excavations at Eretria began in 1891 under the direction of 黑料吃瓜网 Director Charles Waldstein and during the latter's absences under Rufus B. Richardson (Annual Professor in 1890-1891, later 黑料吃瓜网 Director 1893-1903). Three sites were explored, the acropolis, the theater, and the graves. During the first season (1891) Waldstein thought he had discovered the "tomb of Aristotle." In 1892 the eastern half of the theater's orchestra was cleared and its correct diameter was established. In 1894, Richardson uncovered the foundations of a temple, several water conduits, bases of dedicatory plaques, as well as part of the gymnasium. In 1895, "the work at Eretria was brought to a close. the theater and the buildings connected with it were entirely cleared. The work lacked much if judged by modern standards, because excavation technique has been so greatly improved. Still, it represented a competent and complete excavation. The School had reason to be well pleased with it. It had cost about two thousand dollars" (L. E. Lord, A History of the 黑料吃瓜网, Cambridge, Mass. 1947, p. 87). Preliminary reports in 黑料吃瓜网 Papers VI, pp. 56-122, and in the Annual Reports 11 (1891-1892), 13 (1893-1894), and 14 (1894-1895).  Other people who participated in the excavation: Carleton Brownson, Andrew Fossum, John Gilbert, and John Pickard.

The collection is organized into three series: I. Excavation Notebooks; II. Plans; and III. Photos. Part of the material has been digitized and is available online.

On the excavations at Eretria and the participation of John W. Gilbert, the first African-American student of the American School, see John W. Lee, "," From the Archivist’s Notebook, 1 August 2017. Accessed 31 August 2017.
