The campaign, carried out in September, was meant as a continuation of field studies in view
of preparing the final publication of finds from the area of the so-called Villa of Theseus. 1'>
The work included the examination of coins stored in the Archaeological Museum in Paphos
and ofpottery kept in the site storeroom. The condition of mosaic floors in the Villa of Theseus
was checked and a test pit dug under one that had to be lifted for conservation.

1) The Mission, directed by the present author, included Dr. Eudoksja Papuci-Wladyka, Dr. Barbara Lichocka, Dr. Maike
Droste, Mr. Henryk Meyza, Ms Liliana Nalewajska, archaeologists; Prof. Dr. Stanisiaw Medeksza, architect; Mrs. Elzbieta
