[01] Excavation at Kissonerga-Skalia Bronze Age settlement continued
during the summer
Excavation at the Bronze Age settlement of Kissonerga-Skalia continued
during July by a University of Manchester team under the direction of
Dr Lindy Crewe.
According to a press release issued by the Department of Antiquities,
the team uncovered further evidence of a large building complex dating to
the threshold of the Late Cypriot Bronze Age (around 1750-1600 BC), which
had been partially revealed in previous seasons and also investigated
the interior space in an earlier domestic area dating to the Early-Middle
Cypriot Bronze Age (around 2300-1900 BC).
During the final phase of occupation a large complex covering an area
of 700m2 was built, using a variety of techniques with thick stone wall
foundations up to 1.2 metres wide and 35 metres long.
