Kalopsidha: Forty-Six Years After SIMA Volume 2
7 Kalopsidha: forty-six years after SIMA volume 2 Jennifer M. Webb A report on the excavations at Kalopsidha Tsaoudhi part of a volume devoted to Åström’s excavations Chiflik was published by Paul Åström in the second in 1959 at Kalopsidha and Ayios Iakovos (Åström volume of SIMA (Åström 1966). My own copy, which 1966: 7–143). In addition to the description of the has been in my possession since 1974 (the year in site and finds, it contains chapters by Åström on which I first met Paul), is now frayed and missing its Cypriot Bronze Age pot marks (Part III) and Middle back cover. In focusing on this volume, the first of over and Late Cypriot Plain White Hand-made ware relief 40 which Paul authored, co-authored or edited for bands (Part IV), each of which provides a corpus of SIMA, my intention is to trace the history of this site all material available at that time. There are also 11 within and beyond the SIMA corpus – with respect to specialist reports and the description of the tombs and both the archaeological record and its interpretation – discussion of Bronze Age pottery include ‘comments’ and to consider the enduring value of site reports and by Merrillees and Popham. The publication stands out those who support their publication. Kalopsidha was as an early example of a multidisciplinary site report occupied through most of the Bronze Age. It is typical and a testament to the collaborative spirit which Paul of many sites in Cyprus which have been investigated always showed toward other scholars. -
Master Thesis-Cyprus.Final
MORTUARY PRACTICES IN LC CYPRUS A Comparative Study Between Tombs at Hala Sultan Tekke and Other LC Bronze Age Sites in Cyprus Marcus Svensson Supervisor: Lovisa Brännstedt Master’s Thesis in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History Spring 2020 Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Lund University Abstract This thesis investigates differences and similarities in the funerary material of Late Bronze Age Cyprus in order to answer questions about a possible uniqueness of the pit/well tombs at the Late Bronze Age harbour city of Hala Sultan Tekke. The thesis also tries to explain why these features stand out as singular, compared to the more common chamber tomb, and the reason for their existence. The thesis concludes that although no direct match to the pit/well tombs can be found in Cyprus, there are features that might have had enough similarities to be categorised as such, but since the documentation methods of the time were too poor one cannot say for certain. The thesis also gives an explanation of why not more of these features appear in the funerary material in Cyprus, and the answer is simply that the pit/well tombs were not considered to be tombs but wells. Furthermore, direct parallels to the pit/well tombs can be found on mainland Greece, first and foremost at the south room of the North Megaron of the Cyclopean Terrace Building at Mycenae but also at the Athenian Agora. Key Words Hala Sultan Tekke, Late Cypriote Bronze Age, pit/well tombs, chamber tombs, shaft graves, Mycenae. Acknowledgements This thesis is entirely dedicated to the team of the New Swedish Cyprus Expedition, especially Jacek Tracz who helped me restore the assembled literature in a time of need, and to Anton Lazarides for proofreading. -

Late Bronze Age Socio-Economic and Political Organization, and the Hellenization of Cyprus
Athens Journal of History January 2017 Late Bronze Age Socio-Economic and Political Organization, and the Hellenization of Cyprus By Andreas G. Orphanides Cultural and social interactions in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age involved trade, mercantile operations, migration, colonization and/or military engagement. The Mycenaean expansion in the Eastern Mediterranean found Cyprus occupying a strategic position in the sea routes between Greece and the Near East. The Mycenaeans as early as the fourteenth century BC began establishing entrepôt stations in Cyprus that facilitated their commercial interactions with the Near East. In the meantime, something equally important led them to pay more attention to the island, to gradually dominate over it, to achieve control over its territory, and to consequently Hellenize it. It was the fact that Cyprus was one of the most important copper sources in the Mediterranean. The discovery by the Mycenaeans that copper was readily available on the island, increased its importance considerably. A new type of economy and political organization emerged in Cyprus, based on the Mycenaean exploitation of copper. The new economic and political system caused an increase of settlements and population in the regions of copper exploitation, and it is reflected by the distribution of the settlements that aimed at serving the maximal exploitation of the copper sources for the benefit of the Mycenaeans. In other words, the distribution and organization of the settlement pattern during the Late Cypriot II and particularly in the Late Cypriot III periods reflect the complete economic and political control of and domination over Cyprus by the Mycenaeans. -
