The Senior Artists Research Forum, led by Prof Diana Wood Conroy from the University of Wollongong had a wonderful experience working on the Paphos Theatre site. With Dr Penny Harris the seven doctoral candidates Derek Kreckler, Jacky Redgate, Tim Maddock, Jacqueline Gothe, Lawrence Wallen, Nicola Heywood, and Deborah Pollard all had different interactions with the theatre and its environs. Tim, Nikki and Deborah worked digging around the long 'fountain' building. Derek, Jacky, and Penny photographed Corinthian capitals both in the theatre and in the basilica Chrysopolitissa, while Lawrence, with Diana, organised a drawing system for the 31 capitals in the basilica. As artists, SARF found the intricate processes and detail of archaeology fascinating - and their supervisor Diana thought the Finds sheet used on site a very useful structure for writing a doctorate. All the videos, and photographs of the dig and the architectural stones that SARF was asked by Richard Green to document, will be available through Craig. The expertise, focus and consistent hard work of the Sydney archaeological team was a great model for uncovering knowledge of all kinds!
