  • 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! Users may find an example, see a bibliographic citation and/or contributor name – and then click on your name and send an email. The LCP helps us build and expand our scholarly network. The LCP helps you learn about new information quickly. You can set notifications according to frequency (immediately, daily, weekly), mode (by email or by a notice within the site itself), and topic (according to periods, places, and shapes – e.g., only amphoras).

Most of these Upper Triassic volcanic rocks have been considered to represent remnants of Triassic oceanic crust and its associated seamounts. New Nd and Pb isotopic data show that the whole Mamonia volcanic suite exhibits features of oceanic island basalts (OIB). Four rock types have been distinguished on the basis of the petrology and chemistry of the rocks. Volcanism began with the eruption of depleted olivine tholeiites (Type 1) and oceanic island tholeiites (Type 2) associated with deep basin siliceous and/or calcareous sediments.

    route3 Diarizos Valley cheers along! Wine is not a new story for Cyprus. Recent archaeological excavations which have been undertaken on the island have confi rmed the thinking that this small tranche of earth has been producing wine for almost 5000 years. The discoveries testify that Cyprus may well be the cradle of wine development in the entire Mediterranean basin, from Greece, to Italy and France. This historic panorama of continuous wine history that the island possesses is just one Come -tour, taste of the reasons that make a trip to the wine villages such a fascinating prospect. A second and enjoy! important reason is the wines of today -fi nding and getting to know our regional wineries, which are mostly small and enchanting. Remember, though, it is important always to make contact fi rst to arrange your visit. The third and best reason is the wine you will sample during your journeys along the “Wine Routes” of Cyprus. From the traditional indigenous varieties of Mavro (for red and rosé wines) and the white grape Xynisteri, plus the globally unique Koumandaria to well - known global varieties, such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Let’s take a wine walk. The wine is waiting for us! 3 route3 Diarizos Valley Pafos, Acheleia, Kouklia, Nikokleia, Choletria, Stavrokonnou, Kelokedara, Salamiou, Mesana, Arminou, Filousa, Praitori, Agios Nikolaos, Kedares, Agios Georgios, Mamonia, Fasoula Vines, wine -and something more: we shall discover the places where a Goddess was worshipped, and still is... Picturesque River Diarizos… ALONG THE PATH OF THE RIVER… AND OF HISTORY This itinerary takes us eastwards from the city of Pafos and covers the valleys of the rivers Ezousa, Xeros and Diarizos.
