The Archaeological
Research Unit of the Department of History and Archaeology University of Cyprus
Invites you to attend an International Conference on Archaeological Field
Survey in Cyprus Past History, Future Potentials
Friday and Saturday, 1 - 2 December 2000
The Conference is being hosted by the Cultural Foundation of the Bank of Cyprus
Venue: the Bank of Cyprus Headquarters, Main Conference Hall 51 Stasinos Street, Agia Paraskevi (Hilton Hotel Area) Strovolos, Nicosia Cyprus
Main Theme
Nearly half a century ago Hector
Catling pioneered the first systematic field survey of Cyprus and was subsequently
instrumental in establishing the Cyprus Survey Branch of the Department of
Antiquities (1955), then under the directorship of Peter (A.H.S.) Megaw. On
the 1st and 2nd of December 2000, the Archaeological Research Unit of the
University of Cyprus will hold a two-day long international Conference on
the past history and the future potentials of archaeological survey on the
island.
We would like the first day of the Conference to become, when published, a
valuable reference on the history of field survey in Cyprus in the 20th century.
The second day, on the other hand, aspires to focus on a select group of survey
projects from further afield and Prof. John Cherry has agreed to open this
session of the proceedings with a key-note lecture on the future of survey
in the Mediterranean. The ultimate goal is to scrutinize survey methods in
order to determine their potential effectiveness in the environment of Cyprus.
We will attempt to reach this goal through a monitored, round-table discussion
on Saturday afternoon.
The final program is below. Participation to the Conference is open to the academic community and the interested public. We look forward to seeing you at the Conference.
