No full textThe MBA-LBA I period in the Kourion region : new evidences from Erimi- Laonin tou Porakou (Lemesos, Cyprus)
No full textThe evidence from Erimi-Laonin tou Porakou within the Kouris valley settlement system can offer further new data to outline a picture of the development trends from MBA to LBA I periods in the Kourion region. As to this area, such a “transitional” phase could be particularly relevant to better understand the development process of the mature LBA II–III urban centers (in Alassa as well as the most recent discovered in Erimi-Pitharka). In 2008–2009 a focus investigation (an intensive survey, geoperspections and excavations) within the Kouris Valley Project has been addressed to the site of Erimi-Laonin tou Porakou, which lies on one of the highest hilltops facing southward the Kouris dam. The excavations evidenced a double circuit wall which surrounds the top mound and the lower terrace. The top mound (Area A) has been widely occupied by a complex workshop, directly linked with a storage area. The natural limestone bedrock has been worked out to arrange a system of carved deep basins connected each other by a series of flow channels. Southward from the workshop, a large storage area has been cleared, with a relevant assemblage of big pithoi and storage devices. The first lower terrace area (Area B) has been possibly occupied by a domestic quarter; a cemetery area (Area E) has been also evidenced outside the external circuit wall, where a series of five rock-cut tombs (Tombs 228– 232) with single chamber and small incoming dromoi has been excavated.Las evidencias encontradas en Erimi-Laonin tou Porakou dentro del sistema de asentamiento del valle Kouris puede ofrecer nuevos datos para delinear un panorama de las tendencias de desarrollo en la región Kourion desde la Edad del Bronce Medio a la Edad del Bronce Tardío I. En cuanto a esta área, una fase de “transición” como esta puede ser especialmente relevante para comprender mejor el proceso de desarrollo de los centros urbanos durante la Edad del Bronce Tardío II–III (en Alassa, así como en la más reciente descubierta en Erimi-Pitharka). En 2008–2009 una investigación focalizada dentro del Proyecto del valle Kouris (un estudio intensivo, geoperspectivas y excavaciones) se ha dirigido al sitio de Erimi-Laonin tou Porakou, que se encuentra en la meseta a más altitud frente de la presa Kouris. Las excavaciones evidencian una pared de doble circuito que rodea el montículo superior y la terraza más baja. El montículo superior (zona A) ha sido ampliamente ocupado por un taller complejo, vinculado directamente con un área de almacenamiento. El lecho natural de roca caliza fue trabajado para organizar un sistema de cuencas talladas en profundidad, conectadas unas con otras por medio de una serie de canales de flujo. Hacia el sur del taller ha sido despejada una gran área de almacenamiento, con un conjunto relevante de un gran pithoi y dispositivos de almacenaje. La primera área de la terraza baja (zona B) ha sido probablemente ocupada por un cuarto doméstico; un área del cementerio (zona E) también ha sido evidenciada fuera de la pared exterior del circuito, donde ha sido excavada una serie de cinco tumbas excavadas en la roca (tumbas 228–232) con una sola cámara y pequeños dromoi entrantes
La produzione ceramica dell’Età del Ferro II-III a Tell Barri e in Mesopotamia settentrionale: tipologia e contesti
No full textAppetite for destruction. Current interpretations of accidental or deliberate destructions in Bronze Age Cyprus
Full text linkDestruction processes are considered 'time capsules of material culture' (Driessen 2013) as they freeze a site at one moment of its history providing key evidence for interpreting the archaeological record and reconstructing social, political, cultural and ideological circumstances. By focusing on selected case-studies, this paper aims at briefly discussing existing evidence of destruction events in Bronze Age contexts in Cyprus, and at a preliminary presentation of new research data resulting from ongoing interdisciplinary analyses at Middle Bronze Age Erimi
Abandonment processes at Middle Bronze Age Erimi: A multi-scalar approach
No full textThe study of abandonment processes is key to analysing the formation of social identities and the way that these identities are reinforced and maintained through social practices and rituals. Here, preliminary data from Middle Bronze Age Erimi, Cyprus, shed light on abandonment dynamics
