Welcome to the Archaeological Research Unit (ARU) of the University of Cyprus, the first research unit of this academic institution! ARU was founded in 1991 by decree of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, following the issuing of the relative legislation by the House of Representatives. Its primary aims were to conduct active research and to teach the ancient culture of Cyprus and neighbouring civilisations in the Mediterranean.
