History

September 1963
At the 8th International Congress of Classical Archaeology in Paris, Jean Pouilloux and Vassos Karageorghis agree to create a French excavation mission at Salamis; academic sponsor the Institut Fernand-Courby, funded from the French Foreign Ministry's commission for excavations abroad. Karageorghis recounts that Pierre Devambez of the Louvre prompted the idea.

July 1974
The Turkish invasion ends fieldwork at Salamis after the spring campaign (April-June 1974); the autumn campaign did not take place. Karageorghis writes that when Pouilloux returned in October 1974 he found the French and Cypriot expedition houses vandalised and was refused his excavation notebooks as 'war booty'.
