She also noted that some of the Mycenaean pottery which reached both Cyprus and the Near East can-ied marks incised on handles or painted on bases. This paper examines the possible relationships between the marks, Mycenaean pottery, Cyprus, and the trade in Late Bronze Age ceramics.

  • IDEOGRAMS and SUPPLEMENTALS and REGIONAL INTERACTION AMONG AEGEAN and CYPRIOTE SCRIPTS* in This Paper I Wish to Discuss Several
    IDEOGRAMS AND SUPPLEMENTALS AND REGIONAL INTERACTION AMONG AEGEAN AND CYPRIOTE SCRIPTS * In this paper I wish to discuss several major mysteries which still surround the development and spread of scripts in the middle A preliminary version of this article was delivered as a paper at the 6th International Colloquium on Aegean Prehistory which met in Athens August 30-Sepcember 5, 1987. I thank Jean-Pierre Olivier, lngo Pini and Edith Porada for reading the penultimate ve rsion and for making suggestions and corrections, parricularly in regard to the sign repertories of Linear A and B and the discussion of seals and sealings in notes 4 and 6, which have improved this final version. I am solely responsible for any shortcomings which remain. Ellen Davis kindly arranged for me to receive clear copies of photos of objects in the Cesnola Collection of the Metropolitam Museum of Art in New York. Nicolle Hirschfeld supplied a new, more accurate drawing of Enkomi 16.63, as part of her current work on Cypro-Minoan pottery marks. She also confirmed that Enkomi 4025 is a true osrrakon insc ription. We both thank Ors. Vassos Karageorghis and !no Nicolaou for permitting and facilitating this work.

  • Akanthou*/Tatlisu Rescue Excavation
    Anadolu / Anatolia 30, 2006 M. Şevketoğlu CYPRO-ANATOLIAN RELATIONS IN THE 9TH MILLENIUM BC: AKANTHOU*/TATLISU RESCUE EXCAVATION Müge ŞEVKETOĞLU Keywords: Cyprus, Anatolia, Aceramic, Neolithic, Obsidian Anathtar Kelimeler: Kıbrıs, Anadolu, Akeramik, Neolitik, Obsidyen Abstract In the last decade archaeological research has resulted in advances to our knowledge of Cypriot Prehistory. The results of recent excavations particularly corroded the thoughts and theories of the 1930’s. The former description of Cypro – Anatolian relations as a ‘slight possibility’ is no longer tenable. Two important sites which have played a role in this change are Parekklisha-Shillourokambos and Akanthou-Arkosykos (Tatlısu-Çiftlikdüzü) (Fig. 1). Both sites have exclusive discoveries: they are the first two sites where cattle bones and, more importantly, a large number of obsidian blades were found alongside particular styles of picrolite artefacts (Fig. 2). The geographical position of Akanthou/Tatlısu, the site with the largest number of obsidian blades so far discovered in Cyprus, on the northern coast proves to have played a very important role in Cypro-Anatolian relations during the 9th millennium BC. Prehistoric Archaeology in Cyprus excavations; the Enkomi Late Bronze Age tombs; the Nitovikla fortress; and The first scientific archaeological the Lapithos Bronze Age cemetery. The excavations to push the island’s historical Swedish Cyprus Expedition members, past back before the Archaic Greeks to the first to investigate a Neolithic site on the Neolithic period, were carried out by Cyprus, excavated two important Einar Gjerstad, the leader of the Swedish Neolithic settlements. One of these sites Cyprus Expedition in Cyprus between is located off the western end of the 1927-1931.

  • Maritime Narratives of Prehistoric Cyprus: Seafaring As Everyday Practice
    Journal of Maritime Archaeology (2020) 15:415–450 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11457-020-09277-7(0123456789().,-volV)(0123456789().,-volV) ORIGINAL PAPER Maritime Narratives of Prehistoric Cyprus: Seafaring as Everyday Practice A. Bernard Knapp1 Accepted: 8 September 2020 / Published online: 16 October 2020 Ó The Author(s) 2020 Abstract This paper considers the role of seafaring as an important aspect of everyday life in the communities of prehistoric Cyprus. The maritime capabilities developed by early seafarers enabled them to explore new lands and seas, tap new marine resources and make use of accessible coastal sites. Over the long term, the core activities of seafaring revolved around the exploitation of marine and coastal resources, the mobility of people and the transport and exchange of goods. On Cyprus, although we lack direct material evidence (e.g. shipwrecks, ship representations) before about 2000 BC, there is no question that begin- ning at least by the eleventh millennium Cal BC (Late Epipalaeolithic), early seafarers sailed between the nearby mainland and Cyprus, in all likelihood several times per year. In the long stretch of time—some 4000 years—between the Late Aceramic Neolithic and the onset of the Late Chalcolithic (ca. 6800–2700 Cal BC), most archaeologists passively accept the notion that the inhabitants of Cyprus turned their backs to the sea. In contrast, this study entertains the likelihood that Cyprus was never truly isolated from the sea, and considers maritime-related materials and practices during each era from the eleventh to the early second millennium Cal BC. In concluding, I present a broader picture of everything from rural anchorages to those invisible maritime behaviours that may help us better to understand seafaring as an everyday practice on Cyprus.

The wild bees of the island were studied extensively by the native George Mavro- moustakis, a world-renowned bee taxonomist, who collected extensively on the island from 1916 to 1957 and summarised his results in a series of eight Cyprus-specific papers published from 1949 [“1948”] to 1957.

  • The Ghosts of Famagusta
    1 The Ghosts of Famagusta by Allan Langdale In the summer of 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus, forcibly partitioning the Island into a northern, Turkish sector and a southern region known as Greek Cyprus. The international community interpreted the Turkish exploit as an illegal annexation rather than, as the Turks saw it, a justifiable intervention to prevent the ethnic cleansing of Turkish Cypriots. When the area declared itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) in 1983 the international community refused to recognize it. The occupation of the north meant that only the southern two-thirds of Cyprus continued to be recognized as the legitimate nation of Cyprus, while the north has persevered— propped up by subsidies and immigrants from Turkey—as a ‘military occupied zone’, a designation that has resulted in the region’s economic and cultural isolation for the past forty years. This has had innumerable political and social ramifications for Cyprus and Cypriots, both Greek and Turkish, but one of the more urgent issues is the preservation of archaeological and cultural sites in the north, many of which have been subject to neglect for four decades. The situation has become critical for many historical sites. The following is a report on some of the challenges faced by people trying to conserve the region’s incomparably rich archaeological and architectural past. We routinely hear about the U. S. economic embargos of Cuba and North Korea, but the embargo of northern Cyprus doesn’t get much press. Yet that four decade long prohibition, observed by the United States and by virtually all of the world’s nations, is one of the decisive factors impeding efforts to save the region’s numerous archaeological sites and historical works of architecture.

  • 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.

The underpinnings of science-based archaeology may conflict with social or behavioural factors unsuited to quantification and grouping procedures. Thus, the interaction between archaeologists and their science-based colleagues has been less profitable than it might have been. The main point I consider in this study, and exemplify by considering metals provenance studies in the Bronze Age Mediterranean, is the relevance and application of the stated aims of science-based archaeology to the contemporary discipline of archaeology. Whereas most practitioners today recognise that science-based archaeology has the potential to contribute positively to the resolution of problems stemming from our field’s inadequate and incomplete data resource, I contend that science and scientific analyses alone cannot adjudicate between cultural possibilities. Rather they provide analytical data which are likely to be open- ended, subject to multiple social interpretations, and in need of evaluation by collaborating archaeologists using social theory. Biographical Note: A. Bernard Knapp is Professor of Mediterranean Archaeology in the Department of Archaeology, University of Glasgow.
