A Day at the Museum

26/8/2014

14 Comments

An essential part of any season is a visit by the team to the Paphos District Archaeological Museum run by the Department of Antiquities of the Republic of Cyprus.
It is a chance to understand the material culture of the western coast of the island from the Neolithic to the Crusader period and for new team members to begin to get their eye trained to recognise shapes and design that we will find on site in coming weeks in sherd form. Hellenistic, Roman and Medieval ceramics are studied carefully by team members so that they recognise materials on site.

Bloggers

Each season our team including the directors, students, architects, volunteers, ceramicists and other finds specialists will blog about the day to day sweat and adventures that come with life on an archaeological dig.

Each post will be signed off by the team member and together these posts will represent the variety of expertise and experiences that happen when working overseas on a dig.

Please join in and ask any questions about the archaeological excavations, research, field methods, the island of Cyprus, food on a dig, or anything else you’re interested to know in our comments section.
