Nestled at the eastern corner of the Mediterranean, the island of Cyprus is a popular locale for archaeological research by resident and foreigner alike despite its modest size. The roots of this popularity run deep; Cyprus can boast for capturing people's attention with its antiquities since the start of the nineteenth century (Clarke 1813, pp.165–97). Authored by veterans of Cypriot archaeology, each of these three books is a valuable addition to the ever-expanding scholarship that is the legacy of this colourful history of aesthetic/financial curiosity transformed into meticulous research. Additionally, these three publications stand out among the avalanche of archaeological research on Cyprus due to their shared links.

塞浦路斯岛坐落在地中海东角，尽管面积不大，但却是当地人和外国人进行考古研究的热门地点。这种流行的根源很深。自 19 世纪初以来，塞浦路斯就以其古迹吸引了人们的注意力（Clarke 1813，第 165-97 页）。这三本书都是由塞浦路斯考古学的资深人士撰写的，每一本书都是对不断扩大的学术的宝贵补充，这些学术是这段丰富多彩的审美/金融好奇心转化为细致研究的历史的遗产。此外，这三份出版物因其共同的联系而在塞浦路斯的考古研究中脱颖而出。
