Overview
Fifty years after the coup and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, Cypriot and foreign archaeologists, along with members of the Department of Antiquities' staff from that time, delve into personal memory, examine the collective trauma of war, and outline its impact on Cypriot archaeology. Weaving archival material from excavations with gripping personal testimonies, the documentary *"Skammata"* highlights significant moments in Cypriot archaeology, both before and after the tragic events of 1974.
