Scholar, active 1970–1986. Wrote with Vassos Karageorghis.

Life and work

  1. 1983
    Contributed 'Note on three fragmentary anchors from the Palaepaphos-Skales tombs' (Appendix X) to Karageorghis's report on the 1979-81 rescue excavation of the Iron Age cemetery. She classed three perforated stones from Tombs 58, 75 and 49 as anchors (small to medium weight) and discounted others (e.g. Tomb 67 fragment E, and the pierced stone T.66:A) as anchors; she noted that the anchors had been used casually as fill in the tomb dromoi.
