For the summer season, the ASCSA is happy to announce a new app and
interactive Ebook to help you explore the Agora with content from *The
Athenian Agora: Site Guide*
<http://www.ascsa.edu.gr/index.php/publications/book/?i=9780876616574>.
*Field Trip*
The ASCSA has partnered with Google to take you on a tour of the Agora
on-site—on your phone. iPhone, Android, and Google Glass* users can
download the*free* *Field Trip* app from the iTunes and Google Play stores,
tick the box for ASCSA content, and then walk around the Agora. You will be
notified by your device’s GPS when you approach any of 64 Agora monuments.
View images, descriptions, links to more information on
ascsa.net, and
related Hesperia articles. Field Trip frees you to tour the Agora however
you like in whatever direction you choose.
