On the other hand, one notes there the total absence of the local hysélienne locale [illegible] of frequent use at Enkomi.
It was replaced by simpler pottery, of the type called submMycenaean (the Levanto-Helladic pottery ware of Ilerstad and the decorated I C III vase of Furumark).
It is characteristic of the period 1800 to 1100 in round figures, during which it was first in use to the exclusion of all other pottery, as the tombs of private persons prove.
On the other hand, one can note from our finds that the occupation of Enkomi by the Sea Peoples scarcely affected the industrial activity of the city.
The palace with its dependencies was degraded, and its last storeys [illegible] but the activity of the bronzefounders, for example, suffered no slowdown.
It ceased, on the contrary, [illegible] during this period, that is to say at the beginning of Late Cypriot I, in the 13th century, a remarkable activity.
We were able to establish a plan during our excavations, that all the copper ingots or sanons from this site, preserved in the Museum of Nicosia, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of New York and at Los Angeles, date from this immediately post-Mycenaean period and not from the end of the Bronze Age, of the 14th-13th century, as has been accepted until now. Their elongated form, characterised by its stretched neck facilitating the handling of these heavy bars weighing up to 20 Kgrs, distinguishes itself moreover clearly from earlier ingots made in the island of a more rudimentary type, on the Egyptian bas-reliefs of the time of Thutmosis III, and of which nineteen examples were removed from a fill of palace at Enkomi Triada in Crete, of the end of the Middle Age.
