The creation of a digital soil map for Cyprus using decision-tree classification techniques Zomeni Z., Camera C., Noller J., Zissimos A., Bruggeman A. Cyprus Geological Survey 65 years of public service Scope of study •This study will develop a digital soil properties map of Cyprus, at 1:50,000 scale. •The soil physical properties which the map will provide are texture, depth, water holding capacity •Use Correlation and Regression Training for predictive mapping •Use existing topographical and soils data and integrate new geological, geochemical, geomorphological, geochronological, ecological and remote sensed data Random Forest Workflow 1. Initial Analysis of Existing Mapped Areas Random Forest Runs GIS Analyses 2. Extrapolation of Rule Sets to Unmapped Areas Random Forest Runs Ground Truthing 3. Reiterations of #2 until desired accuracy reached Soil Map of Cyprus methodology • Use known environmental variables, i.e. geology, geomorphology, topography, climatic parameters • Use existing 1:25.000 soil maps to “train” the software • The software will create decision trees based on rules, i.e. • Rule : • IF elevation <= 1742, and • precipitation <=2465, and • slope is < 6, and • geology = 15, THEN • Soil= 1 (ie Letymbou soil series) • The software will predict soil units in unmapped areas • The output will be field checked Soil forming factors, from Jenny (1941) to McBratney (2003) clorpt ... scorpan •Soil properties •Climate (precipitation, soil moisture, temperature) •Organisms (vegetation, fauna, humans) •Relief (topography, slope, aspect, landscape) •Parent material (e.g, surficial geology, bedrock lithology) •Age (time factor) •N space, spatial position 5 scorpan, soil properties Soil map of Cyprus, 1961, 1:125.000 Legend 1.1 Kafkalla - Fairly level 2.3 Terra Rossa on kafkalla - Deep 6.2 Calcareous raw soils - Shallow 1.2 Kafkalla - Moderately sloping 3.1 Terra Rossa on hard limestone - Shallow w. outcrops 6.3 Calcareous raw soils - Deep 10.1.1 Silicate raw soils on igneous rocks - Shallow 3.2 Terra Rossa on hard limestone - Shallow 7.1.1 Xerorendzinas on Kythrea beds - Sandstone 10.1.2 Silicate raw soils on igneous rocks - Deep 3.3 Terra Rossa on hard limestone - Deep 7.1.2 Xerorendzinas on Kythrea beds - Shallow 10.1.3 Silicate raw soils on igneous rocks - Under pines 4.1 Red earths - Shallow 7.1.3 Xerorendzinas on Kythrea beds - Deep 10.2.1 Silicate raw soils on Mamonia rocks - Shallow 4.2 Red earths - Deep 7.2.1 Xerorendzinas on limestones, etc - Shallow 10.2.2 Silicate raw soils on Mamonia rocks - Deep 4.3 Red earths - Immature 7.2.2 Xerorendzinas on limestones, etc - Deep 11 Blown sand 4.4 Red earths - Degraded 7.3 Xerorendzinas on pliocene marls 12 Urban 5.1 Brown earths - Shallow 8 Shallow rendzinas with hard limestone outcrops 2.1 Terra Rossa on kafkalla - Shallow 5.2 Brown earths - Deep 9.1 Alluvial soils - Saline and marshy 2.2 Terra Rossa on kafkalla - Immature 6.1 Calcareous raw soils - Rocky 9.2 Alluvial soils - Non saline scorpan, Soil properties Legend Bc, Calcaric Cambisols Ie, Eutric Lithosols Vr, Rhodic Vertisols Bc, Calcaric Cambisols Lithic phase Rc, Calcaric Regosols Vr, Rhodic Vertisols Lithic phase Be, Eutric Cambisols Rc, Calcaric Regosols Lithic phase Vx, Xeric Vertisols Soil map of Cyprus, Be, Eutric Cambisols Lithic phase Rc, Calcaric Regosols Shifting sands Vx, Xeric Vertisols Lithic phase Bv, Vertic Cambisols Re, Eutric Regosols Xc, Calcaric Xerosols 1970, 1:200.000 Bv, Vertic Cambisols Lithic phase Re, Eutric Regosols Lithic phase Xg, Gypsic Xerosols Em, Mollic Rendzinas Lithic phase So, Orthic Solonetz Xg, Gypsic Xerosols Lithic phase Eo, Ochric Rendzinas Urban, Urban Xv, Vertic Xerosols Eo, Ochric Rendzinas Lithic phase Vc, Chromic Vertisols Zg, Gleyic Solonchaks Ic, Calcaric Lithosols Vp, Pellic Vertisols Ic, Calcaric Lithosols Petrocalcic phase Vp, Pellic Vertisols Lithic phase scorpan, Soil properties Soil map of Cyprus, 1999, 1:250.000 Legend Salt Lake Deposits vertic-CAMBISOLS and calcaric-REGOSOLS eutric-lithic-LEPTOSOLS and eutric-skeletic-REGOSOLS calcaric-fluvic-CAMBISOLS and vertic-CAMBISOLS eutric-GAMBISOLS and eutric-anthropic-REGOSOLS calcaric-CAMBISOLS and calcaric-REGOSOLS lithic-LEPTOSOLS and epipetric-CALCISOLS eutric-chromic-VERTISOLS calcaric-lithic-LEPTOSOLS and calcaric-leptic-REGOSOLS calcaric-lithic LEPTOSOLS epipetric-CALCISOLS and leptic-chromic-LUVISOLS gleyic-SOLONCHALKS calcic-LUVISOLS and chromic-vertic-LUVISOLS skeletic-leptic-REGOSOLS skeletic-calcaric-REGOSOLS and calcaric-lithic-LEPTOSOLS vertic-leptic-CAMBISOLS and chromic-VERTISOLS calcaric-rendzic-LEPTOSOLS and calcaric-leptic-CAMBISOLS gypsiric-REGOSOLS and leptic-GYPSISOLS calcaric-leptic-REGOSOLS and lithic-LEPTOSOLS scorpan, climate Wetness Index water loss (red) and water accumulation (blue) • rainfall, 50 cm/year, xeric • January temperatures, 0oC to 25oC •July temperatures, 25oC to 40oC scsocorpan,rpan, organisms organisms Legend CorganicCStop_per100 Value High : 11 % Low : 0 Geochemical Atlas of Cyprus Cyprus Geological Survey 2011 •5500 sites •2 samples per site scorpan, organisms, long presence of man •Agriculture and salinization •landscaping •overgrazing •unsupervised industrialisation •abandoned agricultural land •deforestation Berm 30,000 polygons scorpan, relief Closed depression Cuesta Drainages Landscape Fan position Flat Fluvial Hillslope Horst Mesa Plains Ridges Terrace Nea Dimmata Nea Dimmata Nea Dimmata Elevation !

  • CYPRUS Cyprus in Your Heart

    CYPRUS Cyprus in your Heart Life is the Journey That You Make It It is often said that life is not only what you are given, but what you make of it. In the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus, its warm inhabitants have truly taken the motto to heart. Whether it’s an elderly man who basks under the shade of a leafy lemon tree passionately playing a game of backgammon with his best friend in the village square, or a mother who busies herself making a range of homemade delicacies for the entire family to enjoy, passion and lust for life are experienced at every turn. And when glimpsing around a hidden corner, you can always expect the unexpected. Colourful orange groves surround stunning ancient ruins, rugged cliffs embrace idyllic calm turquoise waters, and shady pine covered mountains are brought to life with clusters of stone built villages begging to be explored. Amidst the wide diversity of cultural and natural heritage is a burgeoning cosmopolitan life boasting towns where glamorous restaurants sit side by side trendy boutiques, as winding old streets dotted with quaint taverns give way to contemporary galleries or artistic cafes. Sit down to take in all the splendour and you’ll be made to feel right at home as the locals warmly entice you to join their world where every visitor is made to feel like one of their own. 2 Beachside Splendour Meets Countryside Bliss Lovers of the Mediterranean often flock to the island of Aphrodite to catch their breath in a place where time stands still amidst the beauty of nature.

It is not surprising that UNESCO included the Pafos antiquities, Choirokoitia and ten of the Byzantine period churches of Troodos in its list of World Heritage Sites. The aim of this publication is to help visitors discover the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The qualified personnel at any Information Office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is happy to help organise your visit in the best possible way. Parallel to answering questions and enquiries, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation provides, free of charge, a wide range of publications, maps and other information material. Additional information is available at the CTO website: www.visitcyprus.com It is an unfortunate reality that a large part of the island’s cultural heritage has since July 1974 been under Turkish occupation.

    Kalopsidha: Forty-Six Years After SIMA Volume 2

    7 Kalopsidha: forty-six years after SIMA volume 2 Jennifer M. Webb A report on the excavations at Kalopsidha Tsaoudhi part of a volume devoted to Åström’s excavations Chiflik was published by Paul Åström in the second in 1959 at Kalopsidha and Ayios Iakovos (Åström volume of SIMA (Åström 1966). My own copy, which 1966: 7–143). In addition to the description of the has been in my possession since 1974 (the year in site and finds, it contains chapters by Åström on which I first met Paul), is now frayed and missing its Cypriot Bronze Age pot marks (Part III) and Middle back cover. In focusing on this volume, the first of over and Late Cypriot Plain White Hand-made ware relief 40 which Paul authored, co-authored or edited for bands (Part IV), each of which provides a corpus of SIMA, my intention is to trace the history of this site all material available at that time. There are also 11 within and beyond the SIMA corpus – with respect to specialist reports and the description of the tombs and both the archaeological record and its interpretation – discussion of Bronze Age pottery include ‘comments’ and to consider the enduring value of site reports and by Merrillees and Popham. The publication stands out those who support their publication. Kalopsidha was as an early example of a multidisciplinary site report occupied through most of the Bronze Age. It is typical and a testament to the collaborative spirit which Paul of many sites in Cyprus which have been investigated always showed toward other scholars.

    MORTUARY PRACTICES IN LC CYPRUS A Comparative Study Between Tombs at Hala Sultan Tekke and Other LC Bronze Age Sites in Cyprus Marcus Svensson Supervisor: Lovisa Brännstedt Master’s Thesis in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History Spring 2020 Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Lund University Abstract This thesis investigates differences and similarities in the funerary material of Late Bronze Age Cyprus in order to answer questions about a possible uniqueness of the pit/well tombs at the Late Bronze Age harbour city of Hala Sultan Tekke. The thesis also tries to explain why these features stand out as singular, compared to the more common chamber tomb, and the reason for their existence. The thesis concludes that although no direct match to the pit/well tombs can be found in Cyprus, there are features that might have had enough similarities to be categorised as such, but since the documentation methods of the time were too poor one cannot say for certain. The thesis also gives an explanation of why not more of these features appear in the funerary material in Cyprus, and the answer is simply that the pit/well tombs were not considered to be tombs but wells. Furthermore, direct parallels to the pit/well tombs can be found on mainland Greece, first and foremost at the south room of the North Megaron of the Cyclopean Terrace Building at Mycenae but also at the Athenian Agora. Key Words Hala Sultan Tekke, Late Cypriote Bronze Age, pit/well tombs, chamber tombs, shaft graves, Mycenae. Acknowledgements This thesis is entirely dedicated to the team of the New Swedish Cyprus Expedition, especially Jacek Tracz who helped me restore the assembled literature in a time of need, and to Anton Lazarides for proofreading.

    LCP 2019 Cyprus Workshop Summary

    THE LEVANTINE CERAMICS PROJECT 2019 WORKSHOP 2: CERAMIC WARES OF CYPRUS FROM NEOLITHIC THROUGH MEDIEVAL TIMES CAARI & THE CYPRUS MUSEUM, NICOSIA JUNE 13TH-14TH, 2019 WORKSHOP SUMMARY LCP editor Andrea Berlin opened the proceedings with a brief presentation highlighting why it is especially important and useful for archaeologists who work on Cyprus to submit material to the LCP: Cyprus: The rest of the LevaNtine world Needs you!! Archaeologists working elsewhere often identify especially nice (or especially odd) pottery as coming from Cyprus. By adding more vessels (and photos and break photos and thin-sections) to the LCP, you ensure the accuracy of more of those identifications. Currently, there are 9674 vessels on the LCP, of which just 451 (4.6%) are from Cyprus. Come on Cyprus: help the rest of us! The LCP gives you a platform to grapple with – and get a handle on – your pottery, while allowing you to incorporate earlier research. It can help you figure out how to think about your pottery and refine your ideas. It’s also low-stakes: when (not if!) you change your mind, you can edit your entries, add more information, change associations, etc. The LCP can direct other people to your work – and to you!

ZooKeys 174: 63–77. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.174.2474 Abstract Terrestrial slugs of the Island of Cyprus were recently studied in the framework of a study of the whole ter- restrial malacofauna of the island. The present work was carried out in the Natura 2000 conservation areas of the island in 155 sampling sites over three years (2004–2007). Museum collections as well as literature references were included.
  • Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilizing of Carrots

    Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilizing of Carrots

    TECHNICAL BULLETIN 99 ISSN 0070-2315 NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS FERTILIZING OF CARROTS P.I. Orphanos and V. D. Krentos AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS FERTILIZING OF CARROTS P.I. Orphanos and V. D. Krentos SUMMARY Carrots have been an important export crop since the mid 1950s but the course of theindustly in production, price of the produce and exports has been rather enatic. The crop is sown in November and harvested in April through June. Before 1974 carrot growing was concentrated in the Argaki-Katokopia-Zodhia area. The eight experiments reported here were carried out in this area over the period 1968-71, and tested the combinations of four rates of N (0.63, 126. and 189 kgha) and four rates of P (0.23,46,and 69 kgiha). As a result of previous fertilizer P application. all experimental soils but one tested more than 8 ppm Olsen P. The test variety was Chantenay but in the last experiment Nantes was also included. In sir out of the eight experiments N increased yield significantly, and 63 to 1'26 kg Niha was required for maximum yield. By contrast only in one experiment in which the soil tested a mere 1 ppm Olsen P was yield increased by fertilizer P up to the rate of 46 kg Piha. The increase in yield due to N application was accompanied by a coincident increase in the percentage of exportable yield but at the highest N rate (189 kg Nha) percent exportable yield slightly declined. The dry matter content and the N,P and K contents of the roots were not influenced by either N or P fertilizing.
