pottery on the surface is of the earliest Early Bronze Age type, almost Neolithic, and some fine walls are visible. I have no doubt that it is one of the finest bronze age sites there are. The tombs are very rich and almost untouched. Christo says that the pottery is finer than that of Vounoi, and quite distinct from any other bronzeage pottery dug in Cyprus.

Christo dug two shafts there for Mr. Dikaios this summer, but to sunk both in disturbed earth, so that he didn't get the stratification. He found fine Early Bronze Age pottery, and some Mycenaean and early geometric. It may, thus, be of great importance for our specific Kourion problem.
