Campaign, 1955 (9th Camp.)
| Oct. | 4. | Forrer, Kuss and de Contenson leave Beirut |
| by air with luggage to open camp, rent | ||
| a car, etc. | ||
| ” Oct. | 5 | Continuation of their work. |
| ” Oct. | 6 | I leave Beirut at 9h15 by plane, 10h30 |
| Nicosia. Tel. to Odle. Then talk with Dikaios, | ||
| acting Director Antiquities. I try to make him | ||
| understand that he must now push his | ||
| publication. and that I am embarrassed not to know | ||
| his finds. He does not want to be pressed. But | ||
| I tell him that the main argument for having | ||
| obtained the Combined Expedition was precise- | ||
| ly to accelerate the exploration of the site, this- | ||
| consists of excavation + publication. He | ||
| claims to have made mistakes because I in- | ||
| sisted too much at the start on rapid publication; he admits | ||
| thus that he had to change his mind, precisely | ||
| about the dating that I reproached him for. |
