Henryk Meyza

Henryk Meyza is the ceramic specialist who wrote the Nea Paphos volume on Cypriot Red Slip Ware, a Late Roman fine ware, published in 2007². A 1993 photograph of the Polish Mission's pottery storeroom at Nea Paphos shows him working with Ewdoksia Papuci-Władyka and Jolanta Młynarczyk¹. After a workshop at Nieborów in December 1993 he and Młynarczyk co-edited Hellenistic and Roman Pottery in the Eastern Mediterranean (1995)¹. In 2004 he published the amphora stamps from the Kourion acropolis excavations³.

Papuci-Władyka writes that she worked in the Polish Mission first under W. A. Daszewski, until 2007, "and then, with H. Meyza"¹. His season reports for the Mission appeared in Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean for 2008, 2009, 2010-2011, 2012-2013 and 2014/2016¹. With D. Bagińska he published an overview of the Roman amphorae from the Mission's excavations at Maloutena, a quarter where urgent work linked to the construction of shelters had left much pottery unstudied; they note two destruction events, a Hadrianic-period earthquake horizon and the one that destroyed Kourion, which preserved groups in place⁴.

He also co-wrote the 2015 catalogue Nea Paphos 1965-2015 with Iwona Zych, for an exhibition at the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia, and in 2020 edited Decoration of Hellenistic and Roman Buildings in Cyprus, which came out of a conference held on 10 and 11 March 2017^1,5. His date of birth and training are not recorded.
