Cyprus and the Aegean in the Early Iron Age. The Legacy of Nicolas Coldstream Maria Iacovou (editor)
The volume entitled Cyprus and the Aegean in the Early Iron Age. The Legacy of Nicolas Coldstream for which professor Maria Iacovou served as scientific editor, presents the proceedings of the Archaeology Workshop organized by the Archaeological Research Unit of the University of Cyprus in December 2010 in memory of professor Nicolas Coldstream (1927-2008).
Long before the foundation of the University of Cyprus and the Archaeological Research Unit, Nicolas Coldstream was the only professor at a university in Europe, specifically the University of London, to have introduced regular undergraduate and graduate seminars on the archaeology of Cyprus.
By means of the workshop and the publication of its proceedings, the Archaeological Research Unit and the Cultural Foundation celebrate the memory of professor Coldstream and underline his great contribution to illustrating how significant the role of Cyprus had been in the economic and cultural history of the Mediterranean world during the Early Iron Age. Participating in the workshop were exclusively Greek archaeologists from Greece and Cyprus who had been his students or students of his students. In particular, the book features presentations by: Despina Peilidou, Nota Kourou, Alexandros Mazarakis-Ainian, Antonia Livieratou, Yiorgos Papasavvas, Antonis Kotsonas, Yiorgos Vouroyannis, Maria Iacovou, Vasiliki Kassianidou, Anna Satraki, Yorgos Papantoniou, Anna Georgiadou, Vicky Vlachou and Manolis Mikrakis.
The Cultural Foundation has placed this publication under the “Lectures in History and Archaeology” series, which brings together the minutes of significant conferences and original studies pertaining to various aspects of the Cypriot archaeology.
Lefki Michaelidou was the publication coordinator, with design and art editing by Akis Ioannides. Printing and binding were provided by Kailas Printers.
The book measures 17×24 cm, numbers 397 pages and includes more than 100 drawings and pictures. It is sold for €25.00 at Agora, the Cultural Foundation shop (tel. 22 128157), in major bookstores across Cyprus and on the Internet at www.boccf.org
