520 |a This essay briefly examines trends in current research on the Iron Age kingdoms of Cyprus, with reference to recent discoveries at Amathus, Idalion, Kition, Kourion, and Marion, all subjects of articles in this issue of BASOR. In addition, it suggests ways of furthering the present understanding of the histories of these kingdoms. On the one hand, it is gratifying that more than 110 years after the publication of Cesnola's large, three-volume Descriptive Atlas of the island's antiquities, multivolume atlases are now needed for each of the kingdoms, and that Cypriot archaeology has, so to speak, entered a "subatomic" age. Whereas a previous generation of scholars had simply to study "Cyprus" as one "atom" within a larger "Mediterranean molecule," it is now possible to examine more clearly the subatomic particles of the larger whole-the electrons, positrons, and quarks, one might say, of the island itself. Cyprus in the past was excavated primarily to understand its relationships with what were known as "greater" powers and civilizations: Greece, Phoenicia, Egypt, Assyria, and Persia. But we can now properly study the histories of the individual kingdoms, using the evidence of tombs, sanctuaries, and even settlements, although the last remain notoriously few. On the other hand, given this achievement, a question necessarily follows: how is the progress made in understanding the island to continue?
