Life and work
- 2018AMRICHA research (the institute's staff, Gatzsche's essay does not name the individual) found that a skyphos in the Malios collection had belonged to the Christakis Hadjiprodromou collection, looted in the 1974 invasion; once at Leipzig it was documented and condition-reported, the Department of Antiquities and the Cypriot Embassy in Berlin informed, and AMRICHA was to repatriate it.
