The Folios

Since 1999, I have been issuing yearly folders with plates accompanied by brief explanatory texts. Addressed to our most generous supporters, and nicely encased in leather bound folders, they interpret, in a somewhat poetic mood at times, the strong impressions one retains at the end of the season of what are the most significant results. They define each specific season’s profile.

I have called this genre of report a “Folio.” They are not in the nature of a true report, and they may venture more freely in the territory of hypotheses and conjectures. But they render the slight intoxication one feels at the end of a season’s work… It is in this light that they should be seen, and, then, they do not seem to have lost the interest of their initial purpose.

Taken together, they form the equivalent of a large picture book, which gives a clear overall view of the main results, with a strong interpretive bent.

I will post here, in PDF format and in chronological order, those that predate the latest season. The most recent excavation season is always reserved as a special printed edition for our supporters.
