Life and work

  1. 1990–1992
    Took part as a student in the rescue excavation at ancient Lambousa (Lapta) carried out by the TRNC Department of Antiquities and Museums, which caused a stir in the south because foreign volunteers joined it. Summerer's table gives the excavation as 1990-1993 (necropolis, quarry, fish tank).

    Published 'Of Death and Life. Funerary and Other Features of the Multi-Functional City Wall of Lambousa' (pp. 277-297) in The Northern Face of Cyprus; the 2023 chapter calls it a factual and objective account of the rescue excavation and its results, which received no attention in the south. The volume's introduction lists her with Aliye Öznergiz, Mehmet Şöföroğlu and Lâtife Summerer among those presenting Hellenistic-Roman tombs from north-western Cyprus.
