Excavations at Vounous by James Stewart (1937-1938) :: 1937

Object description

The excavation at Vounous was undertaken by James Stewart (1913-1962) for two seasons in 1937-38. It was a major undertaking and it involved the clearing of some 85 fully furnished tombs and a substantial volume of antiquities. James’s British wife Eleanor Stewart (1911-2002) was responsible for the accurate recording and drawing of all the material and it was her work that lay the foundations for James Stewart’s career as an archaeologist.

The collections are at the Cambridge Museum and World Museum, Liverpool. Some of the documentation is at the Museum of Mediterranean (Medelhavsmuseet).

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
