John F. Kenfield III

Associate Professor

Ph.D., Princeton University


Biographical Information:

Professor Kenfield's area of interest is ancient Greek art. Though his publications deal with material ranging from the Geometric through the Middle Byzantine cultural phases, his interests of late have centered on architectural sculpture in terra cotta produced in the Greek colonies in southern Italy and Sicily. The most recent among these publications include "High Classical and High Baroque in the Architectural Terra Cottas of Morgantina," Hesperia, suppl. XXVII (Princeton, 1994): 275-81 and "Technical Variety in the Archaic Architectural Terra Cottas of Morgantina," Deliciae Fictiles II (Amsterdam, 1997): 115-20. Morgantina Studies VI: The Architectural Terra Cottas (Princeton University Press) is due to appear in fall 1999 or spring 2000.

Forthcoming Publications:

Morgantina Studies VI: The Architectural Terra Cottas, Princeton University Press, forthcoming spring 2002.

"The Missing Link: Dipoinos, Skyllis and a Female Head Antefix in Houston" Deliciae Fictiles III: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Italic Architectural Terra Cottas = Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome (forthcoming 2004/5).
