The Archaeological Research Unit of the University of Cyprus is pleased to announce a five-day training course on the Archaeometallurgy of Cyprus. This training activity is organised in the framework of the New Archaeological Research Network for Integrating Approaches to ancient material studies (NARNIA), a Marie Curie Initial Training Network, funded by the European Union.
