[01] Excavations for 2013 at Kissonerga-Skalia settlement completedFine plaster floors, large amounts of broken pottery, and other objects, such as stone tools for processing food and other materials, gaming stones, copper chisels, and shell, stone and bone pendants and beads, were among the findings of the 2013 season of excavations at the Bronze Age settlement of Kissonerga-Skalia near Paphos.The excavation was carried out during July by a University of Manchester team under the direction of Dr Lindy Crewe. 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 a series of floors in an earlier domestic area dating to the Early Bronze Age (around 2300-1900 BC). During the final phase of occupation a large complex covering an area of 750 square metres was built, using a variety of techniques with thick stone wall foundations up to 1.2 metres wide. A large wall of uncertain function now extends to over 45 metres long and is not yet fully excavated. After the previous season, the wall enclosed an area of around 20 x 10 metres, but this season it has turned back on itself to form an ‘S-shape'.
