Sotira Kaminoudhia: An Early Bronze Age Site in Cyprus

edited by Stuart Swiny, George Rapp, and Ellen Herscher

The excavations at Sotira Kaminoudhia in southern Cyprus revealed the remains of tombs and an Early Bronze Age settlement. This is the first Early Bronze Age settlement to be excavated in Cyprus, an era previously known only from mortuary deposits. This volume provides a final report on the excavations and includes specialist studies on various artifact groups, including: ceramics, chipped and ground stone, metals and terracottas. Other chapters focus on the skeletal remains, local flora and fauna, the geology, the environment, and a regional archaeological survey. This important report provides a wealth of new material from the southern part of the island, material that may now be compared with finds from the contemporaneous site of Marki Alonia in the centre of the island. 586p, b/w illus (ASOR Archaeological Reports 8, American Schools of Oriental Research 2003)

Review Quote

An impressive and beautifully presented scholarly publication, and rich in helpful drawings..It is impressive for the meticulous and lucid presentation of the often exiguous evidence.
