Abstract
Contents
In 1934, a number of artefacts recovered during the course of the Swedish Cyprus Expedition were sent, by order of the Swedish Cyprus Committee, to three institutions throughout Sweden: Malmö, Lund, and Uppsala. The artefacts sent to Uppsala were recovered from 10 different tombs at Amathus, Enkomi, Lapithos, and Marion as well as from the temple-sites of Ajia Irini and Kition. A number of these artefacts are exhibited at Museum Gustavianum, while the rest are stored in the collections.
