    AAP volume reports ethnographic exhibits, the Kallinikos icons, archaeological artifacts from systematic and salvage excavations near Athienou, and AAP artifacts and images on display. It adds that important finds from earlier work were being returned from other museums such as Larnaka. Object captions split AAP-AM finds between Athienou (e.g. terracotta chariot AAP-AM 1218+1459+2007) and the Larnaca District Museum.
