Life and work

  1. 1991–1992
    Directed, with John Leonard, two brief campaigns of underwater survey and mapping of the ancient harbour of Nea Paphos, urgent because of plans to develop the harbour as a recreational marina. 1991: ancient entrance channel found west of the modern harbour mouth, possibly flanked by two towers; 1992: east breakwater and Moulia Rocks examined; a 199 m wall parallel to the east breakwater and a mound of debris located outside the harbour.
