Early Neolithic Settlement in Western Cyprus: Preliminary Report on the 1992-1993 Test Excavations at Kholetria Ortos
The Neolithic occupation of Cyprus represents an apparent late, and quite distinct, phenomenon when compared to the mainland. Although a few early, aceramic Neolithic sites have been excavated, none in the western portion of the island have been well studied. Kholetria Ortos is a large aceramic Neol...

| Summary: | The Neolithic occupation of Cyprus represents an apparent late, and quite distinct, phenomenon when compared to the mainland. Although a few early, aceramic Neolithic sites have been excavated, none in the western portion of the island have been well studied. Kholetria Ortos is a large aceramic Neolithic settlement located in the Paphos District of western Cyprus, and this report provides preliminary data on test excavations conducted there during 1992 and 1993. These multidisciplinary investigations revealed a rich, but disturbed, site that has considerable potential for shedding light on early Neolithic adaptive strategies within the ecological confines of an island. |
