AJBW writes about current excavations at Cyprus. He discusses the debate between Dikaios and Schaeffer: he supports Dikaios and hopes that Schaeffer will not be allowed to dig at Knossos. He responds to a query about saponlac and criticises Furumark's use of saponlac on his pots. He then discusses Nilsson's and Holmberg's papers in the Opuscula Archaeologica, adding his own observations on the pottery. He mentions Iliffe's finds at Paphos, including some painted archaic sculpture.
