The discoveries were made in two 16 square meter trenches. The archaeologists found multiple large drystone walls containing pottery, with one wall having thick ash and charcoal deposits. The back wall of the room was beneath a modern terrace wall, indicating that the Laroumena hillside was terraced in the Middle Cypriot period for architectural purposes, not agriculture. One of the walls was particularly thick, measuring 90 centimeters. Items such as spindle whorls, shell beads, a stone pendant, and pottery were found. The presence of a large number of worked stone flakes and blades suggests that stone toolmaking occurred near the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3136,"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-3135","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
