Results of excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Vol. IX, [Part 1]). This academic book, written by the American archaeologist and classicist Franklin P. Johnson, describes and catalogues 332 sculptures (statues and statue fragments) excavated by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens during the period 1896-1923 in the ancient Greek city of Corinth. The collection contains a wide range of statues. Most date from the city's Roman period (after the ancient Greek city was destroyed by the Romans), along with a single Mycenaean piece and statues of gods (such as Apollo, Aphrodite, and Dionysus), as well as imperial or honorary statues. - - After its publication, this part is designated as "part 1" (or IX.1) of the series because it is the first part in a later series of catalogues dealing specifically with the statues found in Corinth, followed by later partial studies such as the theater reliefs (Corinth IX, part 2/3).
