9th International Congress of Peloponnesian Studies

On 30 October-2 November 2015 the Ένατον Διεθνές Συνέδριον Πελοποννησιακών Σπουδών. 9th International Congress of Peloponnesian Studies was held in Nafplion. Further information is available at http://www.oeai.at/tl_files/img/Dateien/programma%20synedrioC.pdf. Papers of interest to Nestor readers included:

J. Rambach, "Τό φρέαρ τῆς Πρωτοελλαδικῆς περιόδου στήν Π.Ο.Τ.Α. Ρωμανοῦ Μεσσηνίας. The Early Helladic well in P.O.T.A. Romanos, Messinia"

Σ. Κατσαροῦ and Ἑ. Ψαθῆ, "Ξαναδιαβάζοντας το Σπήλαιο Φράγχθι: Ἐπιστροφή στήν μελέτη τοῦ Νεολιθικοῦ κεραμέα. Restudying Franchthi Cave: return to the study of the Neolithic potter"

Ἐ. Κόλλια and Ἀ. Σπυρούλιας, "Πρωτοελλαδικός οἰκισμός στήν Κερύνεια Ἀχαΐας. Νέα δεδομένα γιά τήν προϊστορική κατοίκηση στή βόρεια Πελοπόννησο. Early Helladic settlement in Keryneia, Achaia. New data about the prehistoric inhabitation in northern Peloponnese"

It gives us great pleasure to congratulate Professor Dimitri Nakassis on being named a MacArthur Fellow in the class of 2015. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation cited his "rare intellectual breadth, comprising philology, archaeology, and contemporary social and economic theory" in his transformative analysis of the degree of centralization of power and resources in Mycenaean Pylos. The editors of Nestor join the MacArthur Foundation in saluting Prof. Nakassis.
