  • Shipwrecked Off Kyrenia

    Shipwrecked Off Kyrenia

    AppArch Newslet 1 : 23 March 2020 Dear <<Greeting Names>> I hope this find you well. Apparch promised you the occasional "Newslet" to keep your interest in archaeology alight - herewith our latest. Stay safe. Martin Joyce Shipwrecked off Kyrenia John and Pat Keith visited Kyrenia Castle in Northern Cyprus on a holiday recently and have passed us some interesting observations. The castle was built by the Venetians in the 16th-century on top of an older Crusader fortification. It includes a twelfth-century chapel with reused late Roman capitals and the Shipwreck Museum. This houses the remains one of the oldest trading ships known in the world, salvaged from the sea bed less than a mile from Kyrenia harbour. The ship is believed to have sunk in rough seas around the year 300BC at the time of Alexander the Great. In 1967, Michael Katzev of the University Museum of Pennsylvania directed a survey team looking for shipwrecks of the coast of Cyprus. A local Kyrenia sponge diver pointed to a promising area and using a metal detector, protonmagnetometer and probes, the group spent a month surveying the seabed, eventually finding the wreck and its cargo. During the following summers of 1968 and 1969, a team of 50 underwater archaeologists, students and technicians, employed stereo-photography and other techniques to record the position of each object before extracting them. The well preserved wooden hull of the ship was then "mapped" and lifted in pieces to the surface for careful examination and preservation. Both the ship and her cargo are now displayed in the museum, where they provide a wonderful insight into the life of merchants and trading in those far off times The main part of the cargo comprised over 400 wine amphorae.

Historical Places İnformation Kyrenia Castle Kyrenia Castle has been standing since the 7th Century and many believe it was built to protect the town against raids from the Arab lands. Throughout the centuries, Kyrenia Castle has undergone many restorations especially during the Lusignan period. Built during an era of knights and archery the castle was designed with this in mind. During reconstruction in 1489 the castle was remodelled to co-inside with the artillery era. Two towers were also added but in 1570 the castle was once again under seige and taken over by the Ottomans. Like any castle built for protection, Kyrenia castle is entered via a bridge built over a moat which was until the 1400’s filled with water. Inside Kyrenia castle you will find a Byzantian church and the tomb of the Ottoman Admiral, Sadik Pasha. There are also the towers, dungeons, an arsenal, a cannon parapet, and the shipwreck museum St.

    Re-Use of Historic Buildings in North Cyprus

    Re-use of historic buildings in North Cyprus G. Ozay1 & N. Ozay2 1Department of Civil Engineering, Eastern Mediterranean University, Magusa, N. Cyprus 2Department of Architecture, Eastern Mediterranean University, Magusa, N. Cyprus Abstract Buildings are the living organisms that are affected by the rapid changes of the world. If they lose their functions or are not maintained, they can die. However, it is possible to re-use these historic buildings according to the changing conditions of contemporary life with the help of technology. In this way, it can be possible to preserve and revitalize the historic witnesses to provide references for further designs. Cyprus is an island at the crossroads of three continents; Europe, Asia and Africa. Thus, the island has achieved combining different cultures in its body and reflecting them in its architecture. Its rich architectural heritage has been composed layer by layer as the history moved from century to century. There are lots of monuments from different periods that were rehabilitated and used for various functions. On this basis, the aim of the study is to discuss re-use of the historic buildings in Northern Cyprus. The argument of the study is presented in two sections. Firstly, different architectural periods are discussed with their specific examples, which have been converted into new uses. This creates a base and presents the general structure of its architectural heritage. It starts with the beginning of the Roman Period (58 BC-330AD) and comes until the end of British Period (1878-1960). Then, related to the first stage, the general re-use strategies and processes are presented.

    A SHORT HISTORY OF ST ANDREW’S ENGLISH CHURCH KYRENIA, CYPRUS by P.C. COLLINS, B.D. Canon Emeritus of Rochester, England This is a digital recreation of a small booklet originally produced in 1988. A copy of the booklet has been scanned and the text corrected in order to make this more “user friendly” version available through the church website and also in printed form. A number of footnotes, providing internet links to references that may be of interest to the reader, have also been added during the editing process. It has been noted that George Houstoun’s name had been misspelt in the original booklet as “Houston”. www.standrewskyrenia.org A Short History of St Andrew’s English Church Kyrenia: 1913-1988 - by P.C. COLLINS, B.D. FOREWORD This short history of St Andrew's Church, Kyrenia is based on an account written by J.K. Luard, a former churchwarden of St Andrew's, in 1973 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of the church. After the retirement of the Rev. Arthur Rider, I had the privilege of acting as temporary Chaplain at Kyrenia for nearly a year, and during this time I took upon myself the task of updating the history in readiness for the 75th anniversary of the church in 1988. I am also indebted to many kind friends who have assisted me in gathering information for this purpose.

    MEDIEVAL FAMAGUSTA: SOCIO-ECONOMIC and SOCIO- CULTURAL DYNAMICS (13Th to 15Th Centuries)

    MEDIEVAL FAMAGUSTA: SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND SOCIO- CULTURAL DYNAMICS (13th to 15th Centuries) by SEYIT ÖZKUTLU A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the socio-economic and socio-cultural dynamics of medieval Famagusta from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. Contrary to the traditional historiography suggesting that Famagusta enjoyed commercial privilege after the fall of Acre in 1291 and lost its importance with the Genoese occupation of the city in 1374, this work offers more detailed analysis of economic and social dynamics of the late medieval Famagusta by examining wide-range of archival evidence and argues that Famagusta maintained its commercial importance until the late fifteenth century. In late medieval ages, Famagusta enjoyed economic prosperity due to its crucial role in Levant trade as a supplier and distributor of agricultural and luxury merchandise.
