  • 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.

    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. Peter Collins April 1988 ST ANDREW'S CHURCH KYRENIA From a plaque in the church: THIS BUILDING WAS ERECTED BY Mr & Mrs Ernest McDonald and the site was presented by Mr George Houstoun 1913 Ernest Eldred McDonald was a lay reader of St Andrew’s Church from 1913

In a 1960 referendum, the three religious groups were asked to choose to belong to either the Greek Cypriot or the Turkish Cypriot community. They opted to belong to the Greek Cypriot community. The members of all three groups, therefore, enjoy the same privileges, rights and benefits as the members of the Greek Cypriot community, including voting rights, eligibility for public office and election to official government and state positions at all levels.

  • Network Analysis of Crusader Fortifications and Settlements in the Kyrenia
    Defend Your Coast: Network Analysis of Crusader Fortifications and Settlements in the Kyrenia Region of Cyprus By Tyler Martin Caldwell March 2019 Director of Thesis: Dr. David Stewart Major Department: Program in Maritime Studies, Department of History The Mediterranean island of Cyprus is situated at the crossroads of the Near East and the Aegean Civilizations. During the Middle Ages, Cyprus experienced raids that would devastate the coastal landscape. Coastal towns and villages were destroyed, and many of them never rebuilt. Fortifications were constructed to defend the coastline from raiders and potential invaders. Scholars believe that during times of heavy raiding coastal settlements are abandoned in favor of inland settlements. This theory has not been tested using Geographic Information System (GIS). This study used GIS to test the area of influence raiders could exert inland during a raid. Based on past research the extent of influence was determined to be 3000 m inland. The Network Analyst tool was used to determine the shortest routes raiders and defenders took to reach undefended villages and churches. The time needed for defenders and attackers to reach sites was determined using a hiking calculator. Based on the results of the test the majority of sites are situated outside the range of raiders influence.
