George (Giorgos) Georgiou

Giorgos Georgiou, an archaeologist of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus, co-wrote the monograph on the 47-tomb Early Bronze Age cemetery at Psematismenos-Trelloukkas. He is listed as the Department's Director from 15 February 2023, after a period as Curator of Monuments⁵.

His early work was on the Early Bronze Age: a tomb at Psematismenos-Trelloukkas in 2000, and revisitings of the necropolis at Nicosia-Ayia Paraskevi (2002) and the settlement at Alambra-Mouttes (2008)^6,7,10. His doctoral thesis at the University of Cyprus (2007) concerned the topography of human settlement in Early and Middle Bronze Age Cyprus⁹. In 2008 a rescue excavation at Psematismenos-Trelloukkas, followed a landowner's building-permit application and recovered 47 tombs. Jennifer M. Webb calls him "our colleague Dr Giorgos Georgiou from the Cyprus Department of Antiquities"; her team and David Frankel's took responsibility for conservation, documentation and publication, and the monograph by Georgiou, Webb and Frankel appeared in 2011^1,2.

At Kition he published a Cypro-Geometric I tomb (2003) and Tomb 128, a Cypro-Classical burial with three stone sarcophagi (2009, 2010)^8,11,12. With Vassos Karageorghis he published a Cypro-Archaic tomb at Xylotymbou and three Cypro-Classical tombs at Phlasou (SIMA 140, 2013)¹³. He also wrote on an Early Christian baptistery on the south coast of Cyprus (2013) and on the Skouriotissa mine area in the Bronze Age (2014)^14,15.
