Helena (Laina) Wylde Swiny

A scuba diving course with the local Massachusetts Police Force introduced Helena Wylde Swiny (Laina) to the underwater world. This qualification, along with a dual degree in Architecture and Graphic Design, secured the position of draftsperson and cataloguer on a series of underwater archaeological projects in Italy throughout the summer of 1965. That experience, which was also kindled by a childhood love for the sea, sent Laina to the Institute of Archaeology, London University, the only place to study the practical side of the science. Her studies progressed to a Postgraduate Degree in European Prehistory. It was also at the Institute that she met her husband of 37 years, Stuart Swiny.

In 1968 she was hired as "architect" for the excavation of a 3rd-4th century BC merchant ship, found off the north coast of Cyprus, known as the Kyrenia Ship. In 1971 she left Kyrenia to join Stuart and assist him in his projects in Iran and Afghanistan. During the years that Stuart Swiny was the Director of CAARI in Nicosia she was in charge of the interior design and decoration of the new CAARI premises at 11 Andreas Demitriou; served as Program Director; and worked with her sister-in-law Patricia Plum Wylde on the landscaping of the Institute's grounds and securing the Claude Schaeffer Library purchased in honor of her father John Irton Wylde. For four years while in Cyprus, Laina also worked for the Fulbright Commission Cyprus American Scholarship Program.

Helena Wylde Swiny and Stuart Swiny returned to the United States in 1996. Currently she is a Research Associate at Harvard University and curates the Semitic Museum's holdings from the Cesnola Collection. The online publication can be found at http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~semitic/Cesnola. Other responsibilities include display, and being co-curator of the majority of exhibits at the Semitic Museum. Underwater archaeology has come full circle as she has rejoined the Kyrenia Ship Project and is engaged in the final publication, as an author, and co-editor of the 2nd volume, that will be published by Texas A&M University.


Stuart Swiny

Stuart Swiny first came to Cyprus in 1969 to work on the Kyrenia Ship excavation and has never looked back! Later that year he dug for Claude Schaeffer at the great Late Bronze Age site of Enkomi and also participated in various rescue excavations in the Kyrenia area. The following year saw work at Kition for Vassos Karageorghis, and survey in the Dhali region for the University at Albany before heading to Iran as fellow of the British Institute of Persian Studies. Iran led to two years in Afghanistan running the British Institute of Afghan Studies. Helena Wylde Swiny (Laina) and Stuart Swiny returned to the island in 1974 in order to excavate with James Carpenter a Middle Bronze Age site at Kalohorio Kalandrikas. This project, which had to be abandoned in 1974, was followed by excavations at the Middle and Late Bronze age site of Episkopi Phaneromeni from 1975 to 1978. Appointed as Director of CAARI in 1980, Stuart Swiny was able to continue investigating the Bronze Age of southern Cyprus with the excavation of Sotira Kaminoudhia, sponsored by ASOR and CAARI. The first phase of the excavations were published in 2003 (Sotira Kaminoudhia an Early Bronze Age Site in Cyprus. Eds. S. Swiny, G. Rapp and E. Herscher. CAARI Monograph Series, Vol 4. American Schools of Oriental Research Publications, Boston.)

In 1995 Stuart Swiny left CAARI to take up a teaching position and the directorship of the Institute of Cypriot Studies at the University at Albany. His work on the island continued with surveys and excavations, specifically at Kaminoudhia, where the past three seasons have produced interesting and unexpected results both on the function of certain areas of the site and the reason for the settlement's abandonment.

After a break of a few years, Stuart Swiny joined the CAARI Board of Trustees and is currently chairing the Library Expansion Committee.
