The project

John R. Leonard began his coastal surveys in 1989 at Drousha-Kioni, Kourion and Nea Paphos¹. Harpster writes that from that time there has been almost constant maritime archaeological work along the southern coastline¹. Leonard's paper "Evidence for Roman Ports, Harbours and Anchorages in Cyprus" appeared in 1995¹.
