This is the site report for a series of tombs in Cyprus dating from the Late Cypriot III period, and includes a wealth of information about the burial customs and goods of this culture halfway between Greece and the Near East and the source for Cypriot ceramics popular in mainland Greece. This report gives detailed information on the graves themselves and the contents (including human remains) and includes sketches, diagrams, and photographs of the most complete and illuminating finds. Indeed, the paper gives photographs of all the ceramics found in the tombs, making this a useful piece for students of ancient art and burial practices.
