Skouriotissa: the University of Cyprus study of the ancient mining landscape (Kassianidou)

2016 · Skouriotissa

Also known as Skouriotissa: Interdisciplinary Study of the Archaeology and Environment of Cyprus' Last Operating Copper Mine

In 2016 the mining company told the team that cutting a new road had exposed the remains of a slag heap at Skouriotissa; with the permission of the Department of Antiquities they recorded it. The project, Skouriotissa: Interdisciplinary Study of the Archaeology and Environment of Cyprus' Last Operating Copper Mine, was funded by a University of Cyprus A. G. Leventis Foundation research grant.
