Research into the Middle and Late Chalcolithic of Cyprus
Today when we talk about value we usually think about money. But was value always tied to monetary exchange? How did people valued objects in the past? And what makes a 'prestige good'? In this recent paper, our director dr. Bleda During discusses the concept of value in Chalcolithic Cyprus and Anatolia with findings from our excavation!

Friends of Palloures update! ![]()
With the new year, we have a new composition in the Friends of Palloures board. Bo Schubert is stepping down as chair of the board. Bo played a pivotal role in setting up the foundation and we are immensely thankful for all her hard work and passion for the project! ![]()

The new chair of the board is Aris Politopoulos, which you might have seen in various pictures of the excavation (or sitting in the middle in this picture)! Looking forward to a fruitful year for the project, with several events (stay tuned!) and of course a great field season. ![]()
