A major part of the coroplastic material from these deposits comprised terracotta protomai of exceptional quality.
In this book these protomai are examined, arranged in a chronological sequence, and observations are made regarding their stylistic development. A cleat picture of a true local stylistic idiom emerges as a result of this study. The religious and historical significance of the votive protome also is clarified as it is set against the background of trade and cultic ritual in the Archaic period.

Their presence in sanctuaries, houses, and graves, as well as in an industrial area of the ancient city, illustrates the shifting patterns of artisanal expression that were influenced by external factors. A distinctive stylistic identity also is evident, especially for the later years of the sixth century and the early years of the fifth. Finally, this review of the typological and stylistic characteristics of the Naxian coroplastic production brings into sharper focus its relationship to that of other coroplastic centers in eastern Sicily, as well as to those in Calabria.

This is a biennial monetary award of €1000 that is granted to a recent Ph.d student for an accepted dissertation that focuses on coroplastic material from the Mediterranean or Near Eastern worlds from the Neolithic period through late antiquity. This Prize is awarded in support of the eventual publication of the dissertation. The name Diphilos is known from signatures and monograms found on late Hellenistic and early Roman terracotta figurines from Myrina in Asia Minor. It is believed that Diphilos may have been the proprietor of a coroplast's workshop that eventually was active over several generations.

While this paper is not the place for such a detailed examination, it can be useful to look at select examples of hand modeling in terracottas, both large and small, to investigate to what end a coroplast of the fourth century or the
Hellenistic period might have engaged in the direct manipulation of clay for a final product.

Participants in the expedition included Richard Norton, Allison V. Armour, and Russell C. Sturgis, Jr. At the conclusion of the expedition Bates sent a full report to the sponsors, who filed it away without acknowledgement. The report, which is published here for the first time, details this first official American expedition to Cyrenaica. Correspondence is discussed that reveals why the Archaeological Institute of America and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston chose to ignore the report and to dismiss Bates abruptly from the project just several days after the report was submitted. The role that Norton played in Bates' dismissal is also examined.

The young researcher, in particular, must be attentive to the sources of an argument and employ critical judgement in order to avoid misdirection when interpreting coroplastic material.

It was only in the later 18 th century in Sicily, in particular, that important collections of Greek figurative terracottas were assembled that began to attract the attention of northern Europeans. A demand for these accessible examples of miniature Greek sculpture arose during the course of the 19 th century that ultimately contributed to the formation of some of the most important antiquities collections in Europe.

The first is the Handbook for Coroplastic Research (HaCoSt), a tool designed for those new to the field of coroplastic studies. The second project has been nicknamed Winter On-Line. This concerns the creation of a searchable version of Franz Winter, Die Typen der figürlichen Terrakotten, 1903, in wiki format.

Metropolitan Museum of Art has nearly emptied its storerooms of portable antiquities and set these objects on public display in a dedicated gallery. Although little information on these
terracottas, vases, minor sculptures, and coins is provided in this gallery, the lack of this information does not particularly hinder the ability to engage with these objects for study
purposes that then can provide the foundation for further research.

A practice that has its roots in the archaeological literature of the late 18th and early 19th century, it has engendered certain research biases that have been difficult to overcome. A review of these biases and their origins could be useful in reorienting the researcher of coroplastic topics away from dangerous preconceptions.

It is believed that explorations into the modalities of the broad spatial or local movement of terracottas, or the representation of active or inferred motion, can open new pathways into an understanding of the varieties of use for which this wide-spread form of sculpture played a role in the material cultures of the ancient world.
