McFadden's interest and money had made possible all the University Museum's excavations at Kourion. After his death in the spring of 1953, G. Roger Edwards spent a year in Cyprus from September 1953 representing the Museum in the settlement of his affairs, and the excavations were closed after a study season. The Museum's Curium Fund then paid for a fellowship in 1954/55 for J. L. Benson to study the finds kept in Philadelphia, and the Museum and the Haney Foundation Series of the University of Pennsylvania helped pay for his Bamboula at Kourion (1972). The monthly statements and receipts record the expedition's spending in the field in its final seasons.
