✨ A milestone achievement!

We are delighted to announce that "Lapithos Vrysi tou Barba, Cyprus. Early and Middle Bronze Age Tombs Excavated in 1913. Tombs 48–50, 101–108, 201–205" by Jennifer Webb has just been sent to press! 🎉🎉

This richly illustrated volume is the fourth and final publication in the series on the Bronze Age tombs of Lapithos. With it, Jennifer Webb brings to completion an ambitious, decade-long project that has meticulously documented more than 60 tombs excavated on Cyprus’ north coast over a century ago.

Together, these volumes have transformed our understanding of Early and Middle Bronze Age Cyprus, opening new perspectives on networks of exchange, social organisation and the communities that shaped the island’s history.

📚 We are thrilled to share this milestone and look forward to making this significant contribution to Cypriot archaeology available very soon!

📢We are delighted to announce that another volume in the Studies in Mediterranean Archaeology - SIMA series is on its way to publication
👉 Cathy Carigiet (2025). Prehistoric Bronze Age Cypriot Flasks: A Study of Regionalism and Individual Variation (SIMA PB 195).

This richly illustrated study focuses on ceramic flasks from Early and Middle Bronze Age Cyprus, small vessels often found in domestic and, especially, funerary contexts. Made from fine fabrics and decorated with incised geometric patterns, these flasks likely held precious liquids such as oils, perfumes, or medicinal substances for ceremonial use.

With a catalogue of 560 known examples, the volume offers an in-depth analysis of form, fabric, and decoration, exploring regional patterns, workshop practices, and even the hand of individual potters.

📚 Another important contribution to Cypriot archaeology and prehistoric ceramic studies!

📢📢 Studies in Mediterranean Archaeology - SIMA is pleased to announce that the volume by Giorgos Bourogiannis entitled The Sanctuary of Ayia Irini Reconsidered. A Quest for Gods and Territories (SIMA 158) has been printed and is now available with an Abstract and List of contents on the SIMA website!
🙌 The volume re-examines the sanctuary of Ayia Irini, one of the most exceptional archaeological discoveries made by the 1927–1931 Swedish Cyprus Expedition, known for its corpus of terracotta votive sculpture! This new publication reconsiders the special symbolism, ideological connotations and political affiliation of Ayia Irini during the Archaic period, and attempts a more precise definition of the deity worshipped at Ayia Irini.
