The discoveries were made in two trenches, each measuring 16 square meters. The archaeologists found multiple large drystone walls containing pottery. One wall had thick ash and charcoal deposits, indicating the presence of architectural structures on the Laroumena hillside during the Middle Cypriot period, rather than agricultural use. One of the walls was notably thick, measuring 90 centimeters. Items such as spindle whorls, shell beads, a stone pendant, and pottery were found. Evidence of stone toolmaking was also observed, suggested by the large number of worked stone flakes and blades found near the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3111,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[764,632,3,612,250,866,157],"class_list":["post-3110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cyprus","tag-agriculture","tag-archaeaology","tag-cyprus","tag-deposits","tag-google","tag-kalavasos","tag-larnaca"],"acf":{"keyphrase":"","keywords":"","sourceimg":"","country-category":""},"yoast_head":"\n
