Synopsis

This book is made up of seven papers that were delivered at a Round Table in Nicosia in February 2005. All the papers describe recent archaeological work relating to the crusades in the eastern Mediterranean during the 12th-15th centuries and discuss the contribution that archaeology can make to the study of the crusades. The symposium and lecture coincided with the exhibition Crusades: Myth and Realities which was then on display at the Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre. Both the Round Table and the exhibition were organised within the framework of the programme Crossings: Movements of People and Movement of Cultures - Changes in the Mediterranean from Ancient to Modern Times , a project that had been initiated by the Pierides Foundation and supported by the European Union's Culture 2000 programme.
