Series·Swedish Cyprus Expedition

Objects: other finds, place not recorded

172 object photographs · 1927–31

Sites: Limassol, Tamassos, Arsos, Kalopsidha

This series holds 172 object photographs that have no recorded find-place and fit none of the class series. The Medelhavsmuseet keeps the expedition's archive of notebooks, plans, drawings and around 10,000 photographic negatives; for these prints its record gives only the span of the expedition's years.

The largest groups are photographs marked "KVHAA archive", about 40, taken by H. Andersson in 1930 and 1933, some before conservation; jewellery and necklaces photographed in the Cyprus Museum (63 captions name it); 15 North African objects; 13 prints captioned with Ayioi Omologitades, Politiko and Limassol, a group another print identifies as copied from a 1914 report by Menelaos Markides; and single photographs of stones with patterns, Foreign Red Slip sherds and Cypriot handicraft.

For object photographs sorted by class see the series beginning with pottery and sculpture. Search the explorer by number or caption, or use its "Holder's folder" filter.
