Kyle Jazwa (Visiting Lecturer) was joined by a small group of archaeologists, including Duke graduate student Antonio LoPiano, to study the architecture at Maa-Palaeokastro, Cyprus. The short-lived settlement was founded at the end of the Bronze Age and is a rare example of large-scale vernacular construction that was found undisturbed by later rebuilding. The team spent many hours in the Cypriot heat and humidity measuring stones, photographing walls, and identifying the construction methods used by the inhabitants to create their new homes.
