Extract

During the war organised archaeological excavations in Cyprus were suspended. The Pennsylvania University Expedition to Curium continued at work during the early years of the war and then closed down. The Department of Antiquities staff was reduced and therefore could not undertake systematic excavations. Accidental discoveries, however, which were multiplied by digging operations by the Army, were attended to, and any excavation necessary for the safeguarding of the remains uncovered, carried out.
