N2  - This lavishly illustrated catalogue accompanies the Nicholson Museum exhibition of the same name, and presents selected highlights from the Nicholson Museum’s extensive collection of Cypriot artefacts, from the Early Bronze Age to the Middle Ages. 2013 marks the centenary of the birth of Professor James Stewart, who excavated on the island before and after the Second World War and developed the Nicholson Museum’s collection, but the legacy of Australian archaeological investigations on the island continues today. Fieldwork projects by Australian universities continue, including the Nicholson Museum sponsored excavations at Nea Paphos; the Hellenistic-Roman capital of the island. This catalogue celebrates the Cypriot archaeological collections of the Nicholson Museum, and explore the stories of the Australian researchers who have investigated the island’s history. Featuring essays on Cypriot archaeology and art by Craig Barker, Judith Powell, Jenny Webb, Robert Merrillees, Agata Mvra-Montoya, Ina Kenrberg, Diana Wood Conroy and an introduction by the President of Cyprus, Demetris Christofias
