Centre for Spartan and Peloponnesian Studies - Open Access Resources

Welcome to the Open Access page of CSPS, provided as part of our mission to disseminate new research on Sparta and the Peloponnese.

Here you will find the published versions of selected papers delivered at our international conferences – they have all been through a process of peer review and editing.

We very much hope you will find them useful and we encourage you to pass on the link to other scholars.

The CSPS Is proud to present its new open access resource: Christos Matzanas 2013, Burial Customs and Practices in the Ancient Coastal Cemetery at Savalia, Elis.
