The Akrotiri Cyprus Project Update

30th November 2019

Following on from Vicki Score's fascinating lecture at the guildhall on the 11th October.

Since 2015, teams of School and University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) staff and students have conducted several seasons of excavation and survey on Roman/early Byzantine remains at Dreamer's Bay, Akrotiri, Cyprus. Comprising warehouse complexes, harbour works, and shoreline stone quarries, these attest an ancient port site inside the modern royal Air Force base on the Akrotiri peninsula, at the southernmost point of Cyprus.

Here are two links to the project provided by Vicky Shore:
