Beneath Your Feet: Cyprus – Island of Copper

A brown coloured bowl with small handles. It has black line markings of different sizes and going in different directions. There are a few cracks and chips around the top edge of the bowl some of which have noticeable repairs to them.

Sheffield Museums cares for a collection of around 250 archaeological objects from Cyprus. The island’s position along travel routes between Greece, Turkey, Lebanon and other countries has given it strategic significance and a rich culture for thousands of years.

This display explores the archaeology of the island, showcasing nearly 70 ancient Cypriot artefacts. We worked with members of the Sheffield and the Peak District Young Archaeologists’ Clubs to develop the display, and their comments and drawings inspired by the objects are on show.
