This talk will address the ongoing work at the site of Polis-Chrysochous (ancient Arsinoƫ) on the western side of Cyprus. The research team has worked to document the architecture of an early Christian basilica and an assemblage of late Roman ceramics in order to establish connections between this and other sites. The history of fieldwork on Cyprus becomes clear as it provides an unparalleled opportunity to analyze the material culture of related sites in the ancient world.
