The first essentially commercial, judging by the volume of the imported pottery at Enkomi, began as early as the second halfdu XVIe siècle, et couvre la majeure partie du XIVe.
Holding the second phase, which begins as early as the end of the 14th c. and covers almost all of the 13th c., and which is characterised from the point of view of sternological by the locally made Mycenaean pottery, chiefs of the sanctuhave united power over the east coast of Cyprus and in its capital Enkomi, where they had built the rectangular palace during non-recent qualities.
