  • 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.

Though clairned to have existed ab antiquo, these imperial privileges in fact have their origin in the late sixteenth century and bear the characteristics of western Latin ecclesial and political thought.

  • Troodos Archaeological and Environmental Survey Project
    TAESP Troodos Archaeological and Environmental Survey Project Report on the Fifth Season, November 2003 Written by Michael Given, Hugh Corley, Sarah Janes and Jay Noller 19 December 2003 1. Introduction The Troodos Archaeological and Environmental Survey Project (TAESP) is studying the relationship between people and their environment from the Neolithic to the Modern period. Its 159 sq km survey area, on the northern slopes of the Troodos Mountains in central Cyprus, stretches from Skouriotissa and Kaliana in the west to Potami and Xyliatos in the east. TAESP is directed by Dr Michael Given (University of Glasgow), Dr Vasiliki Kassianidou (University of Cyprus), Prof. A. Bernard Knapp (University of Glasgow), and Prof. Jay Noller (Oregon State University). Between 3 and 22 November we held a small season with a single field team, with the very specific goal of carrying out transect survey in parts of our survey area which had always been covered by stubble and straw during our main summer seasons. The participants were Hugh Corley, Michael Given, Yianna Ioannou, Sarah Janes, A. Bernard Knapp and Jackaline Robertson. Figure 1. Map of the TAESP Survey Area, showing transects and Intensive Survey Zones TAESP November 2003 2 TAESP is very grateful to the Department of Antiquities, and in particular to its Director Dr Sophocles Hadjisavvas, for permission to carry out this survey. We would like to thank Mr Pantelis Andreou Iakovou, the Mayor of Katydata, and Mr Georgios Papacharalambous, the Mayor of Tembria, for their generosity in allowing us to use the Katydata and Tembria schools. This season was funded by the Council for British Research in the Levant and the Arts and Humanities Research Board.
