The proceedings volume of this conference is a multidisciplinary collection of papers that spans from the prehistoric to the medieval times, a significant contribution to the field of archaeological research that will engage young and older scholars and provide the groundwork for further development of research ideas, methodologies and collaborations.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘This volume contains sixteen contributions to various aspects of Cypriot studies, ranging from the earliest (pre-)historic phases of the island to the most recent Ottoman past and contemporary heritage management. Thus, while it works as an introduction to Cypriot culture diachronically, it simultaneously offers a rich variety of specialised studies. The contributors handle critical questions of Cypriot archaeology with a range of new and impressive methodological approaches. The volume, therefore, is a substantial and indeed very welcome addition to Cypriot and Mediterranean studies in general, not only for enhancing POCA’s conception, but also for its consistency and high academic standards.’ –Dr Giorgos Papantoniou, Trinity College Dublin, Organiser of POCA 2005
