The Iron Age of Cyprus, while treated in various degrees at various international conferences over the past 30 years, seldom has been the focus of them. The session on Iron Age kingdoms at the 1995 Archaeological Institute of America meeting in San Diego represented one of the few gatherings devoted exclusively to the island's Iron Age remains. The meeting allowed one to review the present praxis of research concern with sites that date primarily to ca. 1150-450 B. C. E. While the excavations of these sites are executed with the traditional high standards and objectives of classical archaeology, the goals and scope of the investigations tend to be circumscribed. Future field work and analyses, however, present researchers with other possibilities and directions for their investigations of the Cypriot Iron Age. The suggested holistic conjunctive/contextual approach to the study of this seminal period in the island's cultural development would ensure that future results would be in the mainstream of archaeological thought and praxis in the Mediterranean region and beyond
