A memoir of discovery, archaeology and friendships, forged in the ruins of Cyprus.
In 1985, at the age of 50, Dr Pamela Davenport realised her dream of becoming an archaeologist in the ruins of Cyprus. After many years studying and teaching Ancient History, Pamela's own adventure as an archaeologist began when she landed in Paphos, Cyprus to join digs and restorations there. Staying for first six months, then frequent trips over the next 25 years, this book is a vivid recollection of her happy memories of working in Cyprus and serves as a great reminder to follow your passion, wherever it leads.

Staying for first six months, then frequent trips over the next 25 years, this book is a vivid recollection of her happy memories of working in Cyprus and serves as a great reminder to follow your passion, wherever it leads.
This book brings together Pam's loves of learning, teaching, history, archaeology, academia, travel, Cyprus and most importantly sharing all this with others - as the perpetual and generous teacher she is. She not only explores the digs she worked on, including the mosaic of Orpheus, her journey exploring the ruins of Cyprus, but also the lifelong friends she meets along the way.
With her trademark forthright style, Pamela's knowledge and passion for her subject shines through, and takes the reader back with her on her many visits to Cyprus and into the dusty, exhilarating world of archaeology.
