Window on Cyprus WINDOW ON CYPRUS “Cyprus is not a detail, a mere island at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea; today it has been transformed into the fateful centre, where the moral values of contemporary man are at stake. ... For us this is a good moment to forget our passions and our petty cares; for each man of us with his own God- given gifts to follow the path of freedom throughout the land of Cyprus. And we must share her grief, her upsurge, her danger, insofar as we are capable, and surely later on her great joy as well.” Nikos Kazantzakis (From his essay “The Angels of Cyprus”).

From the earliest times, Cyprus’ historical signifi cance far outweighed its small size. Its strategic position at the crossroads of three continents and its considerable resources of copper and timber combined to make it a highly desirable territorial acquisition. The fi rst signs of life date to the tenth millennium BC (Pre-Neolithic age), but it was the discovery of copper (3900 - 2500 BC) that was to bring wealth and trade to the island. Around 1200 BC, a process began that was to largely mark the island with the predominant national identity that it still has today; the arrival of Mycenaean-Achaean Greeks as permanent settlers, who brought with them their language and culture. Cyprus was subsequently subjugated by various conquerors; nevertheless, it managed to retain its Protome of a cat made of Greek identity. The Turkish Cypriots came much later, andesite from Pareklisia- as a result of the Ottoman occupation of the island “Shyllourokambos”, tenth for more than three hundred years (1571-1878), and millennium BC. have contributed their own heritage to the country. 4 neolithic 8200-3900 BC period NEOLITHIC PERIOD (8200 - 3900 BC) Remains of the oldest known settlements in Cyprus date from this period. They can best be seen at Khirokitia, just off the Nicosia to Limassol highway. The use of carbon-14 dating method proved that life in the settlement of Khirokitia started in the sixth millennium BC, indicating that Cyprus was inhabited Diabase stone during the same period as Mesopotamia and Greece. anthropomorphic fi gurine from However, a more recent dating procedure suggests Khirokitia, Neolithic Period, 7000-6000 BC. that the settlement might even date back to the eighth millennium BC. At fi rst, only stone vessels were used. Pottery appeared in a second phase after 5000 BC. Idols of clay or stone representing human and animal fi gures are the earliest specimens of Cypriot sculpture.

Most Chalcolithic settlements were found in southwestern Cyprus where a fertility cult developed. During this period there were changes in many fields. The burial customs of the Cypriots changed and the deceased were now buried in separate cemeteries. Several clay figurines representing the goddess of fertility were produced. New forms in pottery were introduced and new styles in decoration appeared. Copper was discovered and was beginning to be exploited on a small scale.

Gradually, copper mixed with tin produced a much harder material called bronze, the discovery of which dramatically boosted the island’s economy and commerce. Trade developed with the Near East, Egypt and the Aegean where Cyprus was known under the name of Alasia. After 1400 BC, Mycenaeans from Greece fi rst came to the island as merchants. Around 1200 BC, mass waves of Achaean Greeks came to settle on the island and established the fi rst city-kingdoms of Pafos, Salamis, Kition and Kourion, spreading the Greek language, religion and customs. The hellenisation of the island was then

  • Maritime Narratives of Prehistoric Cyprus: Seafaring As Everyday Practice
    Journal of Maritime Archaeology (2020) 15:415–450 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11457-020-09277-7(0123456789().,-volV)(0123456789().,-volV) ORIGINAL PAPER Maritime Narratives of Prehistoric Cyprus: Seafaring as Everyday Practice A. Bernard Knapp1 Accepted: 8 September 2020 / Published online: 16 October 2020 Ó The Author(s) 2020 Abstract This paper considers the role of seafaring as an important aspect of everyday life in the communities of prehistoric Cyprus. The maritime capabilities developed by early seafarers enabled them to explore new lands and seas, tap new marine resources and make use of accessible coastal sites. Over the long term, the core activities of seafaring revolved around the exploitation of marine and coastal resources, the mobility of people and the transport and exchange of goods. On Cyprus, although we lack direct material evidence (e.g. shipwrecks, ship representations) before about 2000 BC, there is no question that begin- ning at least by the eleventh millennium Cal BC (Late Epipalaeolithic), early seafarers sailed between the nearby mainland and Cyprus, in all likelihood several times per year. In the long stretch of time—some 4000 years—between the Late Aceramic Neolithic and the onset of the Late Chalcolithic (ca. 6800–2700 Cal BC), most archaeologists passively accept the notion that the inhabitants of Cyprus turned their backs to the sea. In contrast, this study entertains the likelihood that Cyprus was never truly isolated from the sea, and considers maritime-related materials and practices during each era from the eleventh to the early second millennium Cal BC. In concluding, I present a broader picture of everything from rural anchorages to those invisible maritime behaviours that may help us better to understand seafaring as an everyday practice on Cyprus.
