Abstract

abstract:The following article approaches a historic monument on the island of Cyprus, the sixteenth-century Panagia tou Potamou church, with an interdisciplinary methodology. An in-depth study of its history, architecture, and paintings leads to a new evaluation of the church’s value for Cypriot and Mediterranean research. The church has proven to be a space for burial and private memory of a sixteenth-century semirural community, reflected in the staging of a prominent burial and the iconographic topics underlining ideas of intercession and salvation. Ultimately, this enables an enhanced appreciation of “minor monuments” in general. The other angle of approach concerns heritage questions: in precarious state for most of the twentieth century, particularly the wall paintings are in urgent need of restoration. In 2015– 2017, an emergency intervention secured the most fragile parts and evaluated the state of the church, proposing future ways to ensure the survival of this monument.

隐藏的地中海历史/历史:塞浦路斯Kazafani的Panagia tou Potamou教堂(Ozanköy)

以下文章采用跨学科的方法来研究塞浦路斯岛上的一座历史遗迹——16世纪的Panagia tou Potamou教堂。对其历史，建筑和绘画的深入研究导致了教堂对塞浦路斯和地中海研究价值的新评估。教堂已被证明是16世纪半农村社区的埋葬和私人记忆空间，这反映在一个突出的葬礼的舞台和强调代祷和救赎思想的肖像主题上。最终，这使得人们对“小纪念碑”的欣赏程度得到了提高。另一个角度涉及遗产问题:在20世纪的大部分时间里，处于岌岌可危的状态，特别是壁画急需修复。2015年至2017年，紧急干预保护了最脆弱的部分，并评估了教堂的状况，提出了未来确保这座纪念碑生存的方法。

期刊介绍： Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies (JEMAHS) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to traditional, anthropological, social, and applied archaeologies of the Eastern Mediterranean, encompassing both prehistoric and historic periods. The journal’s geographic range spans three continents and brings together, as no academic periodical has done before, the archaeologies of Greece and the Aegean, Anatolia, the Levant, Cyprus, Egypt and North Africa. As the publication will not be identified with any particular archaeological discipline, the editors invite articles from all varieties of professionals who work on the past cultures of the modern countries bordering the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Similarly, a broad range of topics are covered, including, but by no means limited to: Excavation and survey field results; Landscape archaeology and GIS; Underwater archaeology; Archaeological sciences and archaeometry; Material culture studies; Ethnoarchaeology; Social archaeology; Conservation and heritage studies; Cultural heritage management; Sustainable tourism development; and New technologies/virtual reality.
