printemps 2015, no 35Spring 2015, No. 35President’s MessageWhat a bitterly cold winter that most of Canada just suffered through! It’s getting on towards lateApril, yet there was snow in Winnipeg last night,and sleet this morning in Waterloo. I’m really looking forward to a return to Greece in early May, taking off my sweaters, jackets, hoodies etc., and soaking up the Mediterranean sunshine while staying atthe Institute. I hope by then that my successor asPresident will be known, and I’ll slowly be able todivest myself of the responsibilities of the position,until the final hand-over in December.Meanwhile, we are on the last leg of the CIGfund-raising campaign, unimaginatively named, theSpecial Appeal (my fault!), trying to raise 25,000for special projects including renovations to thefacilities in Athens and publication of the FredWinter Colloquium papers. We have reached almost 21,000 at this point, with just 4,000 left togo. The campaign ends in June, with the close ofthe Institute’s fiscal year, so if you have any inclination to support the campaign, now is the time tosend a cheque to our treasurer, Jeff Banks (13192Jasper Place, Tecumseh, ON, Canada, N8N 3K4).Jeff is as busy as ever, flying to Greece about thesame time as I do, but he’ll be delighted to receiveany and all donations, and send out receipts, assoon as he returns to Canada later in the summer.Please help us reach that magic number: 25,000.No doubt it will be highlighted in the insidepages of the Bulletin, but it would be remiss of menot to mention here the wedding of our AssistantDirector, Jonathan Tomlinson, to his lovely bride,Amelie, almost two weeks ago now. Although certainly a special event in the spring social calendarof Jonathan’s home town of Huddersfield (WestYorkshire), it won’t be until late May in Athensthat most of Jonathan’s and Amelie’s friends fromthe Canadian Institute will be able to toast theirnuptials. Congratulations to you both, and warmwishes for many happy years together.Finally, let me note that our many Greekfriends, colleagues, neighbours and acquaintancesare facing difficult economic circumstances thesedays. They are meeting these challenges with courage and intelligence, trying to find ways, both personally and collectively, to solve unprecedentedproblems, and return to the happier days before2008. Greece is a wonderful country, and its citizens have always been so generous and hospitableto their guests. I hope our members keep them inmind in the days ahead and continue to follow theirachievements.Gerry Schaus,PresidentJonathan and Amelie 9 April 20151

Director’s ReportThe CIG 2015 Road ShowIn January, my wife, Dr. MetaxiaTsipopoulou, and I enjoyed a whirlwind, seven-city tour of Canada fromJanuary 14th through 31st. We startedand ended in frigid, snow-coveredMontreal. What a 19-day adventure inspreading the word about the manysignificant achievements of the Institute via a series of lectures in westernCanada.This is the second year in a rowthat I have flown to Canada to givelectures about the work of the Institute. Once again the hard work and theample generosity of the Canadian ambassador to the Hellenic Republic,Robert Peck, made this trip possible.The universities where I presented thelectures gave significant support aswell. Mr. Steve Mirkopoulos of CineSpace Film Studios in Toronto wasvery kind to support Metaxia’s intraCanadian travel expenses. Our Treasurer, Jeffery Banks, and his mother, atravel agent, handled all the transportation arrangements in Canada.We started in Montreal wheremy wife gave an excellent introduction to Minoan civilization sta gallikato a large audience at the Pointe-àCallière Museum. This was the firstlecture of a series of six organized forthe general public relating to the artand artifacts of the travelling exhibition entitled “The Greeks: From Agamemnon to Alexander the Great” thatopened in December at the Pointe-àCallière Museum. In the late spring itwill move to the Museum of Historyin Ottawa. It has an impressive assortment of objects dating from theNeolithic to the late Hellenistic period,many of which have never been seenoutside of Greece before. While there,I had a chance again to meet ClaudeSylvie Lemery, the Director of Communications and Marketing at the Museum, who had visited the Institute inNovember.Besides our jovial host JacquesPerreault (CIG Board member fromthe Université de Montréal) serving asour guide, we had a chance to see theamazing Musée des Beaux-Arts deMontréal with its curator of ancient artJohn Fossey. John, while at McGillUniversity, was the first Director ofthe Institute in the 1970s and held theInstitute’s first archaeological fieldwork permit from the Ministry of Culture in the early 1980s at Khostia inwestern Boeotia.My first lecture was in Winnipegat the University of Manitoba to thelocal A.I.A. Society. My lecture hadtwo parts. The first provided an overview of the nature of the Institute, thefacilities and activities in Greece andour relationship to the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. The second, larger partdescribed the results of our five current archaeological fieldwork projects.In honor of our visit to this famouslycold city, the temperature was 1 Cinstead of -45 C! Nevertheless, fromour hotel room we could see peopleskating on the frozen path along theRed River. Mark Lawall (the CIGBoard member from the University ofManitoba), Lea Sterling, Matt Maher(former Fellow now at the Universityof Winnipeg), and George McKinnonmade our stay most memorable. Theinevitable Greek diaspora gave thereception afterwards a touch of home.dents at a pizza lunch organized byGino Canlas, a former CIG Fellow.Sandra Garvie-Lok and her PhD student, Hilary Swanks, joined us to talkabout some old bones we all knew toowell. The members of the departmentand their students were most congenialand it was difficult to move on.AlbertaAlbertaIn Calgary the mild weather wehad encountered in Edmonton continued. As a result almost all of the snowhad melted before we left. Since thecolleagues we had known in the department from earlier years had allretired, we met the talented next generation of scholars who had recentlybeen amalgamated with ReligiousWinnipegStudies. Calgary’s CIG Board member, Prof. Noreen Humble, organized aIn Edmonton, Margriet Haagsma lovely stay.(CIG Board member for the University of Alberta) made us work veryhard. I gave two lectures (one on themid-12th century BC settlement atHalasmenos in eastern Crete) andMetaxia one (on her 30 years of exca- Calgaryvation and study of the Minoan palace,Our hosts in Vancouver at thesettlement and cemetery at Petras outside of Siteia in eastern Crete). I was University of British Columbia, Kevininterviewed by Margriet about CIG for Fisher and Sheri Pak (my former stua podcast and we met their grad stu- dents at Brock University), showed us3

the sights and views of the city. Weimmediately fell in love with Vancouver and its setting. Hector Williams(Board member at Large) gave us aninsider’s tour of UBC’s Museum ofAnthropology. The setting, the architecture and the extensive collectionsimpressed us greatly. We had neverseen so much Northwest coast aboriginal art and artifacts. Again we did ourthree lectures. To PHAROS, the Hellenic Canadian Cultural Association, Igave my Institute lecture. To ProfessorFisher’s graduate course in Cypriotarchaeology, I presented my Halasmenos lecture. There I had a chance tomeet Professor Franco de Angelis, theUBC representative on CIG’s Board.And to the Vancouver A.I.A. Society,Metaxia gave her Petras lecture. Alllectures were very well attended.UBC, VancouverWe then climbed the mountain toBurnaby, BC where Simon FraserUniversity is located. Our host, Professor John Pierce, showed us thebreathtaking campus, and Dave Burleyshowed us the Department of Archaeology’s amazing archaeological labs.As SFU is a new Category B Institutional Member, my lecture on the Institute introduced them to what we areand what we do in Greece. The extentand variety of our fieldwork impressedthem. Their Museum of Anthropologyand Ethnography added to ourknowledge of the rich and diverseaboriginal cultural heritage of thisprovince.Simon Fraser, BurnabyThe last stop was a 24-hour sojourn in Victoria, BC. Before the lec-ture in the evening, we were able tovisit the extensive exhibitions of theRoyal BC Museum and have lunchwith my old colleagues from the Department of Classics at Brock University, Noel and Laura Robertson. Ourhost at the University of Victoria wasProfessor Brendan Burke (CIG boardmember). A large audience attendedthe lecture co-sponsored by the Classical Association of Vancouver Island.A number had attended the UVic fieldschool at ancient Eleon in easternBoeotia. In the daylight, UVic musthave a very attractive campus!VictoriaTo cover all this ground we wereconstantly on and off airplanes. Wesampled the tasty beef steaks of Alberta and Manitoba as well as the incomparable salmon and wines of BritishColumbia. Our conversations with ourdining companions were wide ranging,informative and most stimulating.Many of our conversations revolvedaround the Institute’s work and how itcould serve a larger constituency. Wegained insights into the current state oftertiary education in Canada, the highquality of the undergraduate and graduate students studying topics relatingto Mediterranean archaeology andClassical Studies in general and theinteresting personal lives of our colleagues. May our hosts and audienceshave gained as much from us and ourlectures as we had from each of them.I hope that the Institute will make these lecture tours by the Director a regular occurrence.Now I’m immersed in the “normal” program of the Institute for theremainder of the winter and the hopedfor spring here in Athens. I trust thatI’ve convinced CIG members andsupporters in western Canada to watchour lectures here in Athens vialivestreaming, to follow my weeklyblog through our website: www.cigicg.gr and to peruse our “CIG Portalto the Past” (www.portal.cig-icg.gr)to learn more about our fieldworksince 1980.David Rupp, DirectorAssistant Director’sReportSince my last report, written inmid October, the Institute has hostedeight lectures and the screening of aCanadian film. Applications have beensubmitted to the Ministry of Culture tocarry out three excavations and onefield survey this summer; at Argilos inMacedonia, at Eleon in Boeotia, atStelida on Naxos, and in the WesternArgolid. The electronic catalogues ofour library holdings have been updated for new purchases, an inventory ofbooks and monographs carried out andthe catalogue of these corrected andsystematized. The Institute’s Archiveroom has been equipped, and the cataloguing of our fieldwork archives continues.From early January to early Aprilwe were joined by an intern fromBrock University, Tessa Little, whocompleted her MA at Brock last summer and is now applying to Ph.D. programs. Tessa completed an inventoryof the Institute’s holdings of monographs and books, updating and correcting the electronic catalogue asnecessary, and making entries moresystematic. The Institute’s Homer andDorothy Thompson Fellow, Lana Radloff, has been working on cataloguingthe paper archives relating to the various fieldwork projects carried out under the aegis of the Institute since1980. Our summer intern from YorkUniversity is expected to arrive inAthens in early May for a three-monthplacement. Christina Ioannides is athird-year Hellenic Studies major, andher main duties will likely be the accessioning and cataloguing of newbooks and periodicals, as well as thedigitization of the Institute’s fieldworkarchives.In December and January theArchive Room in the basement wasoutfitted with dexion shelving on bothsides of the walls (bolted to the walls4

for safety) and a dehumidifier. Archival grade storage materials werepurchased for the files and materialsof the Archive. A ladder, table andchair were purchased to facilitate workin the Archive.In light of an increase in thenumber of break-ins of apartments andoffices in Athens, the Director and Irequested from the Institute’s Board ofDirectors that in 2015-2016 we budgetfor the replacement of the presentwooden door and frame of the Library/Offices with a steel frame andsecurity door. In addition, the securitylock on this door and on the door ofthe Hostel on the third floor would bereplaced with the latest security locks.Following the Board’s approval, thisimprovement will be implemented assoon as possible.The Institute’s new website nowallows toggling between English,French and Greek. Most of the Greekpages have already been translated,but the French pages are still a work inprogress. Since the beginning of 2015,the website has received 4,439 uniquevisitors, viewing 48,718 pages in7,716 visits.

The money will be puttowards our honeymoon fund.Since a so-called “holiday of alifetime” is not really our style, wewill likely use this fund to support anumber of more modest travels, withinGreece and beyond. So far, we haveplanned a weekend on the Greek island of Agistri this month, and a fewdays in a cabin on Lake George, NY,when we visit the US this summer.Jonathan E.
