G. Roger Edwards

G. Roger Edwards went to Cyprus in September 1953, for a year, to represent the University Museum in the settlement of the affairs of George McFadden; J. L. Benson went with him¹. In its survey of 1954, Megaw wrote that under Edwards's direction the Curium expedition wound up most of its sites. Edwards spent much time at the sanctuary of Apollo, which it fell to him to publish, and R. Stillwell made supplementary investigations at the theatre³. The division of finds enriched the Cyprus Museum³. Edwards revisited Episkopi in 1955 for the publication⁴. The finds were divided between Curium House, the Cyprus Museum and the University Museum, and his photographs appear among the plates of Benson's Bamboula at Kourion¹.

In Philadelphia he supervised the museum's Cypriot books. Porphyrios Dikaios thanked "Dr. G. Roger Edwards, Associate Curator" for preparing the typescript and plates of Sotira⁵. Terence Mitford records that Edwards invited him to publish the inscriptions of Kourion, and that he supplied plans, the map and many photographs and answered queries from the excavation records⁷.

David Soren says Edwards organised the museum's photograph file of Kourion, which his 1979 campaign used⁹. In 1984 Edwards helped Soren obtain J. F. Daniel's field notebooks and the archive photograph of the Room 1 victims, and Soren reopened Trench III on the fiftieth anniversary of Daniel's dig⁸.
