Περίληψη (στα Αγγλικά)

The idea to hold a conference for postgraduate students and young scholars conducting research on Cypriot Archaeology was inspired in 2001 by Dr Kirsi Lorenz, at the time a PhD student at the University of Cambridge and now currently Research Coordinator at the Cyprus Institute. At the early stages of the Postgraduate Cypriot Archaeology (POCA) Conference, the meetings were largely informal in character and were addressed to postgraduate students mostly from the United Kingdom. The turning point in the history of POCA was the conference held at Trinity College in Dublin, in 2005, which served to transform the idea of POCA and established it as an international gathering of postgraduate students and young researchers working on Cypriot Archaeology.

POCA 2007 took place in Nicosia between the 18th to 21st October 2007. The keynote lecture was delivered by Professor James D. Muhly entitled ‘“Ten kings of the land of Iadnana in the midst of the sea”: Greeks and “Ionians” in Early Iron Age Cyprus’. The conference encompassed 24 presentations by postgraduate students and young researchers from a number of Institutions and Universities in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Belgium, Germany and the United States. The papers, which were organised chronologically in eight sessions, extended over millennia of Cyprus’ history, from the earliest prehistory to the medieval period. They comprised archaeological, anthropological and palaeopathological approaches to the material culture of ancient Cyprus. A lively discussion followed each paper.
