	The Middle and Late Cycladic Periods in the Central Aegean Islands
		The length of time which elapsed between the earthquake which badly damaged Akrotiri and the volcanic eruption which buried it was initially considered to be a very short one by Marinatos, and Doumas as recently as 1983 suggested that it might have been a matter of only a few months.
		The final deposition of tephra (volcanic ash) attributable to this eruptional sequence is over five meters thick at Akrotiri but up to fifty meters thick elsewhere on Thera and includes large boulders of basalt in addition to the lighter and smaller bits of pumice which themselves now measure as much as fifteen centimeters across.
		The absence of any clear signs of erosion at the preserved tops of the ruins of Akrotiri supports the notion that complete burial of these ruins followed close upon the heels of the events which produced the ruins in the first place, that is, the initial stages of the eruption.

		The commitment of the UK Government to extend its application of the Ramsar Convention to the Sovereign Base Areas and to designate the Akrotiri wetland as a Wetland of International Importance, as notified in the joint statement with the Republic of Cyprus in August 2001, has to be applauded.
		However, given the transboundary situation of the Akrotiri wetland catchment (the upper part lying in the Republic of Cyprus), the legal situation regarding the Akrotiri wetland complex may not be as safe.
		Furthermore, the sustainable management of the Akrotiri wetland complex will also place obligations on the Republic of Cyprus and other stakeholders outside of the Sovereign Base Area, because many activities that influence the wetland complex are not within the direct control and influence of the Sovereign Base Area Administration.
