… a trial trench (the so-called trial pit 2), which resulted in the Early Cypriot house, which will be described below. The site of this settlement has under-gone roughly the same history of destruction as the Neolithic settlement, i.e. rain-floods have washed over the area, which has subsequently been subject to successive agricultural cultivation. That the site is nevertheless so considerably better preserved than the one described above is due primarily to the fact that it could not be exploited as a necropolis because of the soft consistency of the rock. Moreover, the walls were of course originally of better quality and offered greater resistance to the tooth of time. What remains of the settlement is two floor layers at different levels together with an outer wall which on one side borders the same.
