Summary

A comprehensive documentation project of Nea Paphos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its significant mosaic pavements, has been conducted to support conservation and management efforts. The study, led by the Getty Conservation Institute in collaboration with Cypriot authorities and experts, employed advanced digital workflows including field measurements, data processing, GIS integration, and external data synthesis. This rigorous approach not only aids custodians, managers, and conservators in decision-making but also serves as a long-term archival and monitoring record. The project's deliverables, produced using cutting-edge technology and equipment, provide a robust framework for interpreting the site and preserving it for future generations, even in the event of catastrophic or gradual loss.
