This volume presents the proceedings of the Cypriot session chaired by Artemis Georgiou, Laerke Recht, and Katarzyna Zeman-Wi?niewska during the 27th Annual Congress of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA), held online in September 2021 (originally scheduled to take place in Kiel). The six selected contributions for publication focus on prehistory (from the Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age). Prehistoric periods, in fact, provoke particularly dynamic archaeological research on the island, with contemporary questions renewing interest in the interactions between humans and their environment, both climatic and natural. It is not the first time that the Cahiers have published conference proceedings where the Center was not a co-organizer. However, it is the first time the meeting took place neither in France nor in Cyprus. I am delighted by this openness, which demonstrates both the importance of Cypriot archaeology on a European scale and the visibility our journal enjoys. Three additional dossiers complement this issue. The first brings together two historiographical studies about Ohnefalsch-Richter and Cesnola, in which new archival documents provide a better understanding of their personality and activities in Cyprus. The following article, in the contemporary section, deals with the troubled years at the end of the British colony. Lastly, among the “Varietes,” we feature the publication of the conference given by Geoffrey Meyer-Fernandez during the General Assembly of the Center (November 19, 2021) and the resumption, by Evangeline Markou, of the “Cypriot Numismatic Chronicle” previously conducted by Michel Amandry. This sixth Chronicle reviews publications since 2016, but it only lists sales from two years (2016-2017). The number of Cypriot coins circulating in the market (both in official venues and informal sites) in recent years is alarming. It reveals a growing archaeological looting problem affecting many countries in the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly in conflict zones that escape authorities’ surveillance. We can only deplore this worrisome situation, flooding the market with sometimes newly identified types of coins, orphaned of their provenance.
