… n. • Material reserved for later division

I am now prepared to discuss: division of: (c) Bamboula L.B.A. settlement: all sherds (numbered) " " " all minor finds... (d) Kalorizniki Cemetery: contents of all tombs (g) exceptng Nos. 18-39 (previously divided) and the sceptre tomb. (h) Bamboula Cemetery: contents of all tombs excepting Nos. 1-37 (previously divided).

I am prepared to discuss a division of: (b) Sotira Neolithic Settlement

prior to my departure. It was agreed to leave the whole collection in Cyprus for Dikaios' convenience until publication stage. I assume you do not intend us to assume responsibility for this pending division.

As to: (e) Basilica: all finds.

I waived division at this time on the assumption that you would want it all available to you until such time as you could undertake further excavation and study. Is this arrangement still agreeable to you? Finds from further excavation there would presumably also be subject to division. Do you wish us to assume responsibility for this material?

As for: (f) All coins.

To clear the boards, we make no claim for division of this category, and accept responsibility only for those in American for study and only until their return to Cyprus.

There remains: (a) Ayios Ermoyenis Cemetery: all finds.

What form do you suggest our responsibility should take? We hope to send someone over next summer to deal with the publication.
