Dr. Tom Davis, the Director of the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (CAARI), recently spoke to a Cypriot Retiree group about the many contributions American scholars have made to increase the knowledge and understanding of the rich heritage of Cyprus. The Director led a tour of the archeological site of the Temple of Apollo in Kourion, Cyprus. Davis used the opportunity to highlight 70 years of American research at the site. At the conclusion of the tour, many in the group expressed a newfound respect for American contributions to Cypriot archaeology. This is particularly gratifying, as many of the older generation were taught a negative view of America’s role in the world.
