Clerides, the President of the Parliament, Mr S. Kyprianou and the Minister of Public Works, Mr A. Neophytou. We hope that it will help to support the efforts of the Department of Antiquities. All the best Lina Kassianidou - -------------------------------------- Dr Vasiliki Kassianidou Lecturer Archaeological Research Unit University of Cyprus P.O. Box 20537, Nicosia, CY-1678 CYPRUS Tel. 357 2 674658, FAX 357 2 674101 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RESOLUTION The International Conference on "Archaeological Field Survey: Past History, Future Potentials", - - Recognizing the rapid pace of modern development which threatens the cultural heritage of Cyprus - - Mindful of the principal responsibility of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus for the management of the island's ancient monuments and sites - - Taking into account the contributions which universities, foreign archaeological missions, international organizations and concerned individuals can make to the preservation, recording and enhancement of the cultural property and landscapes of Cyprus - - Acknowledging the valuable role which archaeological surveys on land and in the sea can play in the planning of cultural protection in its widest sense in Cyprus 1. Strongly supports the primacy of the Department of Antiquities in its legal authority for safeguarding the cultural heritage of Cyprus 2. Advocates the re-establishment of the Survey Branch in the Department of Antiquities, headed by a Curator, to maintain a public electronic register of ancient monuments and sites of special scientific interest, provide for their conservation and sustainable development, and ensure their accessibility to the public 3. Urges all academic institutions, foreign archaeological expeditions and schools, and relevant multilateral bodies, government and non-government, to co-operate fully with the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus in fulfilling its heritage mandate and involving the local community in its survey work and research 4. Calls on the Government of Cyprus to allocate the necessary resources for the operation of the new Survey Branch in the Department of Antiquities and for raising public awareness, particularly amongst school children, of the importance of the island's cultural heritage 5. Recommends that serious consideration be given by the appropriate Cypriot authorities in future to reviewing national policies on cultural resource management, especially the application of the "developer-pays- principle" to the excavation, recording and publication of archaeological and other cultural remains that imminent or planned development might or is bound to disturb in Cyprus.

David R. Jordan, Hugo Montgomery, and Einar Thomassen (Papers of the Norwegian Institute at Athens, 4) Bergen 1999, 325 pp. Because of a generous subsidy by the Eitrem Fund and the Faculty of Arts at the University of Oslo, the principal distributor of the book, Paul Astrom of Sweden, is able to offer it at the below-cost price of $US 24.80. We have learned, from a review in the New Republic (Peter Green, "Now, now, quickly, quickly," NR, Aug. 21, pp. 44-48), that the U.S. distributor, Coronet Books, sells the volume for $US 52.50! We have learned that this is the price also at "amazon.com". We do not know what has caused the high U.S. price, but it is certainly counter to the spirit of the subsidies. We would like to inform all our colleagues and all other prospective buyers that the book can be had for less than half that price from the web-page of its designated principal distributor: http://www.astromeditions.com/ David Jordan (jordan@hol.gr), Einar Thomassen (Einar.Thomassen@krr.uib.no), Hugo Montgomery (h.j.c.montgomery@kri.uio.no) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 12:05:45 -0600 From: "Charles E.
