The American Journal of Archaeology published a case for a lost Roman temple near Kourion this week, and a synthesis of lead isotope data on 752 copper ingots argued that Cypriot copper dominated Late Bronze Age markets. Police arrested a man with a metal detector at Kouklia, the Department of Antiquities finished work round the Paphos lighthouse, and the 1989 report of the American excavations at Idalion became free to download.
