Quiz time! 😃 In 1878, the administration of Cyprus passed to the British. Which law regulated antiquities on the island by the end of the century? Any thoughts? Please, share them in the comments! 👇️ #MSCA #MMARe #HistoryOfArchaeology #Mediterranean #Cyprus

Lovely to spend some days researching at the newly reopened Institute for Interdisciplinary Cyprus Studies at the University of Münster! A brilliant intersection of colleagues with interests in Cyprus and in Byzantium.
