The Penn Museum's excavations at Kourion, 1934–1954

Rights

Courtesy of the Penn Museum. The Penn Museum Archives scanned the records of the Kourion expedition folder by folder and published them with the online finding aid of the Kourion, Cyprus Expedition records (PU-Mu 1050). In November 2026 the Penn Museum gave permission for the page images to be shown here, credited "Courtesy of the Penn Museum" and linked to the finding aid. The scans are shown as the Penn Museum publishes them: resized only, never cropped, rotated or retouched. The English titles and captions beside them, and the transcriptions, are ours. The images are not under an open licence: for any other use, ask the Penn Museum Archives. Every item links to the finding aid.
