The papers published in this volume, the majority in French but with some in English, constitute the proceedings of a conference held in Paris, organized by the Musée de 1'Homme. The theme of the conference centred on aspects of daily life and traditional customs. The chronological span of the papers covers the entire duration of the inhabitation of the island from the earliest Neolithic until modern times. Neolithic and Bronze Age sites such as Khirokitia, Ayios Epiktitos-Vry.si and Hala Sultan Tekke are discussed by their excavators. Other papers are devoted to ancient artifacts such as figurines of horses and pottery types and methods of manufacture. The foreign relations of Cyprus, literacy, religious architecture and customs and olive oil production in antiquity are featured in other papers. Studies of more recent times in Cyprus include the justice system in the Lusignan period, daily life as represented in the poetry of Dimitris Lipertis and recent social change.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of a conference held in Edinburgh in 1988. The 40 papers cover a wide range of subjects divided into six categories: settlement evidence, funerary evidence, religion, artefact evidence, trade and external influence and the emergence of social complexity. Poster summaries are also included. Chronologically the papers cover the long span from the earliest prehistoric period down to Classical times. Rather than following a strictly chronological approach, the thematic organization of the conference allowed speakers to take similar sets of information derived from widely different periods, and tojuxtapose and assess the different interpretative methodologies used by the specialists. The overall scope of the conference and the large number of contributors are illustrative of the vitality of Cypriot archaeology today. Foreword by V. Karageorghis and Envoi by David Ridgway. Chronological table and subject index.
CYPRIOTE TERRACOTTAS
Proceedings of the First International Conference of Cypriote Studies, Brussels-Liege-Amsterdam, 29 May-1 June 1989 21 x 29.6cm 262pp. LXXI plates ISBN 9963-560-12-1 Paperback $44.00 / £C20.00 |
This volume contains 25 papers in English and French concerned with the coroplastic art of Cyprus, both artifacts found in Cyprus and Cypriot artifacts found abroad. Chronologically the papers range from the Chalcolithic to the Hellenistic period. Karageorghis provides a general introduction to the coroplastic art of Cyprus as a whole. Topics of prehistoric date include the Chalcolithic ritual deposit found at Kissonerga-Mosphilia, Early and Middle Bronze Age furniture models and the Late Bronze Age terracottas found at Hala Sultan Tekke. One paper surveys the terracottas of the Cypro-Geometric period. More thematic studies of the terracottas of the later periods treat subjects such as chariot models, musicians, foreign influence, terracotta workshops, continuity and change and information to be derived from the figurines concerning various aspects of everyday life. Several papers are also concerned with terracottas from specific sites such as Kourion, Marion and Lindos. Extensive index.
CYPRIOT CERAMICS: READING THE PREHISTORIC RECORD 21.5 x 28cm 258pp. numerous illustrations University Museum Monograph 74 University Museum Symposium Series Vol. II Published by the A. G. Leventis Foundation and the University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia ISBN 0-924171-10-3 Hardback $48.40 / £C22.00 |
The 25 papers published in this volume were presented at an international conference for the study of prehistoric Cypriot ceramics at the University Museum in 1989. The majority are concerned with pottery of the Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic through Late Bronze/Early Iron Age periods; two papers deal with ethnoarchaeogical evidence and one is devoted to regional classification of Cypriot terracottas. The principles of Bronze Age pottery classification and interpretation of ceramic variability are considered in the two fmal papers. Much dissatisfaction has recently been expressed with the present ceramic classification system; changes in this classification and new directions in studying ceramics were proposed during the conference. Such a gathering should provide a stimulus for all scholars to proceed along new lines while also encouraging more communication and cooperation between specialists. Preface by Vassos Karageorghis, foreword by James Muhly. Index.

This "Round Table" was organized in 1991 when an exhibition on French excavations in Cyprus came to Lyon. The proceedings (all published both in English and French) are divided into four main sections: the frst scholars, prehistoric and Bronze Age periods, historical times and ethnoarchaeology. The first section chronicles the visits of early travellers and French interest in Cyprus prior to the 1930s. The history of the Cypriot collection in the Louvre and a study of the relationship between the French School at Athens and Cyprus are also included. The second section is devoted to the excavations at the Neolithic sites of Cape Andreas and Khirokitia, at Late Bronze Age Enkomi and the French contribution to the Late Bronze Age as a whole. Under the heading of historical times are discussed the excavations at Kition, Salamis, Paphos (Ktima necropolis) and Amathus. The results of an ethnoarchaeological study of the village of Episkopi (Paphos District) are extensively reported in the final part of the volume.

Fifteen papers, in English and French with Greek summaries, are published in this volume in addition to several opening addresses. The symposium was designed to examine the cultural changes which Cyprus underwent in the 11 th century B.C., the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age (LC IIIB/CG IA), and scholars who specialize in the Aegean and the Levant were invited as well as Cypriot specialists. The initial paper by Karageorghis sets the l2th century background, and the following contributions cover the post-palatial period of Greece, the Phoenicians and Cyprus and the 1 lth century B.C. in Israel. Other papers examine the evidence for settlement in Cyprus at this period, and a detailed study is provided of the Kourion area (Episkopi-Bambou/a and Kaloriziki). There is discussion of migration from the Aegean to Cyprus, connections with metallurgy and the development of iron technology. Ceramic evidence and trade also feature in several papers.

The proceedings of a conference held in Nicosia in 1994 are published in this volume. This work arose from the desire to establish new ties between the University of Lyon 2 and the University of Cyprus, and to widen the scope of collaboration in the social sciences and research on the contemporary period. Following several introductory papers devoted to relations between Cyprus and Lyon and a comparison of Cyprus and Crete in modern times, the proceedings are divided into four main sections: migrations, exchanges and territories, languages and identity, image and memories, images and representations from the west and socialization and mobility. The papers cover a wide variety of subject matter from the Armenians in Cyprus, through various linguistic studies to Cyprus in contemporary French poetry and social mobility and education in Cyprus. Each paper is accompanied by an English, French or Greek abstract.
