Nothing very much happens here. - The Army has taken most of Episkopi forest for a permanent camp & the RAF has done the same at Akrotiri (peninsula). I did surface archaeological surveys of both areas - nothing much in the first save some large Roman settlements & other intensely & hitherto unknown (principally) sites in the second area. When all the work here is over I shall write an epilogue & &c or write again
