The History and Archaeology Department of the Aristotle University of
Thessalonica (AUT), continuing its long research presence in Cyprus,
initiated in November 2008 a five-year Prehistoric Research Programme.
According to a press release issued here, the scientific aim of AUT
programme is to search and locate installations of the early prehistory
of the island (pre-Neolithic period) through an archaeological surface
survey on part of Troodos.
Troodos has not been surveyed yet and as a result the research interest
is confined to the south lower regions of Pafos, Lemesos, Ammochostos
and the central part of the island. The first hunter-gatherers on the
island and their material remains, which have been found until now in
the above regions have been dated to around 10000 BC.
