           Next summer, Lycoming College will again be sponsoring an Archaeological Field School in Cyprus under the able direction of Dr. Pamela Gaber. The island of Cyprus was an important cultural “crossroad” in antiquity, with influences from the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Hittites, Philistines, Phoenicians and Romans, to name a few, while Cypriot copper and pottery was exported all over the Mediterranean world - even to faraway places like biblical Megiddo. Idalion was a center for the copper trade and housed the religious cult of the Cypriot mother goddess and her consort, known to the Greeks as Aphrodite and Adonis. Don’t miss the experience! You can earn college credits or come as a volunteer. No experience is necessary.
