1974–1975: J. S. Last monograph (“The Ancient Water supply…”)

* Colonel Joseph S. Last, Fellow of the Society of Architects (London) died January 15, 1969, leaving the almost completed manuscript of this paper, based on his association with the excavations at Kourion conducted by the University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania. The manuscript was prepared for publication by Dr. G. Roger Edwards of the University Museum, who comments as follows: "Mr. Last was a permanent resident of Episkopi, thetown nearest the site of Kourion. Hence he was able to pursue the study at his leisure over a number of years. He was not a trained scholar. He was a very intelligent amateur who did a careful piece of work and observation in this study. He was an accomplished architect for the Kourion expedition and later he took care of the excavations when the University Museum had departed, as an honorary curator appointed by the Cyprus government. He felt rightly that he could not cope with the scholarly aspect. Instead he brought a fresh and exacting mind to the study."
