Background
This owes its inspiration to David Gill and Christopher Chippindale's (1993) study of Material and Intellectual Consequences of Esteem for Cycladic Figures. But I did something different with the data, and the data itself was very different, so the Aegean and Cypriot results can't be compared directly.
Previously, I've explored the impact of the silent accord and amnesty, through which Greek Cypriot archaeologists legalised the looted artefacts in Greek Cypriot collectors' private antiquities collections.
There are several good examples of why the Cypriot data are different, but the easiest one here is an artefact from a private collection, which an antiquities department archaeologist said was '[p]robably from Athienou', when it was obviously definitely from there, because the archaeologist later mentioned the 'excavations [that] dated the tomb in which this terracotta was found' (Flourentzos, 1977: 153).
Often, Greek Cypriot archaeologists knew what had been looted, from where, and when; and they subtly published that information. That is lucky twice over: first, it simply means there's more information; but second, it means there's information that helps us to understand the relationship between the illicit antiquities trade and the Cyprus Conflict.
Value
I've used the information in Nikolaou's (1966; 1969; 1977) reports to estimate: how many of the "principal acquisitions" were probably looted; how many of the looted artefacts were looted before 1963, how many between 1963 and 1974 and how many after 1974; and the proportions of artefacts looted by Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.
These reports are useful sources for estimating public collections' acquisition of looted artefacts, partly because they were compiled by one of the public collectors for his academic/professional community.
They are also useful partly because they quite frequently say where the looted artefacts came from, so by cross-referencing the reports with the 1960 census, it is possible to guess who probably looted them, Greek Cypriots or Turkish Cypriots (3).
But they are particularly useful sources because Nikolaou explicitly stated when archaeologists excavated, cleared or surveyed artefacts, and when archaeologists and others incidentally recovered artefacts (see descriptions in footnote 2); so, he implicitly suggested that the other artefacts were not found by archaeologists or by accident, but probably by looting.
(The information is included below.(2) I included the number of coins in each of the Byzantine and later acquisitions between 1961 and 1966 as a simple proof that one acquisition may be many artefacts.)
Precautions
When Nikolaou said the year the acquisition had been inventoried (or published) in the museum, but other information suggested it had been collected before (like Wing-Commander O'Brien Hubbard's private antiquities collection, donated and inventoried in 1963), I included it in the material probably looted before 1963.
As a precaution, when Nikolaou didn't say the year the acquisition had been inventoried (or published) in the museum, I still included it in the material probably looted before 1963. Obviously, it is likely that it was looted between 1961 and 1976.
Especially because of the first 1961-1966 report, it is likely that the material in the 1966-1969 and 1969-1976 reports was looted between 1966 and 1976. But the acquisitions could be from old family collections, or hobby collections, or something, so as a precaution, I included in the pre-conflict looting.
I had to exclude Nikolaou's (1966) information about acquisitions of Neolithic and Chalcolithic, Late Cypriote (Late Bronze Age (LBA)), and Cypro-Geometric artefacts, because it was mixed in with all of the other archaeological activities, and unnumbered, so it couldn't be analysed reliably.
(In the 1961-1966 report, Nikolaou numbered the Cyprus Museum acquisitions and the other museums' acquisitions separately; in the 1966-1969 and 1969-1976 reports, he numbered them all in one list for each period.)
Looted artefacts' acquisitions, 1961-1976
There were 313 acquisitions in Nikolaou's reports, 18 of which were excavated or cleared (in work before or after looting, or before development), or surveyed, or incidentally recovered; the other 295 were probably looted. (But obviously that doesn't mean that 92.45% of museums' material was looted, because that doesn't include all of the normal excavations.)
There are problems with studying the 22 probably looted after 1974, however, so I will concentrate on the remaining 273 probably looted between 1961 and 1974.
Of those 273, 95 came from Greek Cypriot or Greek Cypriot majority places, so they were probably looted by Greek Cypriots; and 22 came from Turkish Cypriot or Turkish Cypriot majority places, so they were probably looted by Turkish Cypriots; 156 had no information about where they came from. Thus, of those acquisitions with find-spots, 95/117 (81.20%) were probably looted by Greek Cypriots, and 22/117 (18.80%) by Turkish Cypriots.
Those proportions of involvement in looting are very close to the proportions of the communities on the island, respectively 80.90% and 19.10% (3); it cannot be an entirely false image. This strongly suggests that the illicit antiquities trade was a bicommunal business, not just of Turkish Cypriot looters and Greek Cypriot collectors (as Greek Cypriot propaganda claims), but of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot looters.
Looting before 1963
Of the 69 probably looted before 1963, 34 were probably looted by Greek Cypriots; and 6 were probably looted by Turkish Cypriots before 1963; 29 had no information. Thus, of those acquisitions with find-spots, 34/40 (85%) were probably looted by Greek Cypriots, and 6/40 (15%) by Turkish Cypriots.
Looting between 1963 and 1974
Of the 204 probably looted between 1963 and 1974, 61 were probably looted by Greek Cypriots; and 16 were probably looted by Turkish Cypriots; 127 had no information. Thus, of those acquisitions with find-spots, 61/77 (79.22%) were probably looted by Greek Cypriots, and 16/77 (20.78%) by Turkish Cypriots.
The similar proportions of communities' involvement in looting before 1963 and between 1963 and 1974 reinforce the impression of a successful, established, bicommunal business. The apparently increased Turkish Cypriot activity is easily explained by that community's massively increased poverty during that period, and its (illicit antiquities trading) paramilitary's control.
That is undoubtedly an unrealistically low estimate of Turkish Cypriot involvement in looting between 1963 and 1974; but that is because Greek Cypriot archaeologists encouraged Greek Cypriot private collectors to buy Turkish Cypriots' looted artefacts, and not many of them would have been bought for or donated to public collections between 1963 and 1974.
Nonetheless, Greek Cypriot private collectors evidently bought some Greek Cypriots' looted antiquities too, and while the exact proportions of communities' involvement in looting is unknowable, the rough idea of a fully bicommunal business is undeniable.
Looting after 1974
For the acquisitions inventoried after 1974 and probably looted, it's a little more complicated. The 1973 amnesty on collections of looted antiquities gave the few archaeologists access to a huge amount of material for study, cataloguing and publication; it took years to work through.
Some acquisitions from 1974 or before were only inventoried in 1975 or 1976 (e.g. Graeco-Roman acquisition 15 (Nikolaou, 1977: 90-91), but because Nikolaou gave the information for that one, I included it with the other artefacts probably looted between 1963 and 1974); those post-1974 acquisitions with no information could have been looted in 1974 or before.
Moreover, between 1974 and 1975 (and later), around a third of all Cypriots were made refugees, Greek Cypriots driven south and Turkish Cypriots driven north; so the ethnic composition of some villages changed (4).
If all of the looted artefacts inventoried after 1974 (and without evidence of looting before 1975) are assumed to have been looted after 1974, of the 22 probably looted after 1974, 12 were probably looted by Greek Cypriots; and 1 was probably looted by Turkish Cypriots; 9 had no information. Thus, of the acquisitions with find-spots, 12/13 (92.31%) were probably looted by Greek Cypriots, and 1/13 (7.69%) by Turkish Cypriots.
It would be unfair to use that data, though, because Turkish Cypriot looting continued in northern Cyprus, just as Greek Cypriot looting evidently continued in southern Cyprus. (It would also be unfair to forget that the Turkish Cypriot looters in northern Cyprus still sold their looted antiquities to Greek Cypriot collectors in southern Cyprus.)
Yet one of the interesting things, then, is that while the the communities changed, the looting continued (depending upon the village, suggesting that some of the looters were in the remaining old communities, and that some of the members of the new communities very quickly learned what to loot from where). That is yet another proof that the illicit antiquities trade was not an ethnic business; it was a bicommunal business, which harmed both communities.

Acquisition 20: from Kourion, published in 1976 (Nikolaou, 1977: 91) [Kourion near Episkopi TC maj mix] - Greek Cypriots (and Armenians, Latins and Maronites) were 77.1% and Turkish Cypriots (and Roma and Linobambakoi) were 18.2% of the total population (Cucó, 1992: 17). But the non-Cypriots (e.g. British) generally collected rather than looted (which made them more responsible for the problem, not less). So, excluding them (thus, as percentages of their 95.3% of the total population), Greek Cypriots were 80.90% and Turkish Cypriots were 19.10%.
[This footnote was extended on the 25th July 2009]
Armenians, Latins and Maronites were counted as "Greek" Cypriot in the census - but those minorities formed only 1.78% of the Greek Cypriot community. Roma and Linobambakoi were counted as "Turkish" Cypriot - but the Linobambakoi were not counted (or legally recognised), and the Roma formed only 0.48% of the Turkish Cypriot community.
In 1960, there were around 4,000 Armenians, 1,100 Latins and 2,752 Maronites; Protestants were not legally recognised in the 1960 Constitution of Cyprus. So the 7,852 Christian religious minority Cypriots were about 1.78% of the "Greek" Cypriots, and about 1.37% of all Cypriots.
Also in 1960, there were about 502 Roma and an unknown number of Linobambakoi ("Linen-Cottons", syncretic Christian-Muslims). So the Roma were about 0.48% of the "Turkish" Cypriots, and about 0.09% of all Cypriots.
Thus, all known minorities were about 1.46% of all Cypriots, and insignificant participants in the looting. - Probably looted acquisitions inventoried (or published) after 1974:
