le palais de cette période, c'est-à-dire de la première moitié du XVIme siècle et qui devait sans doute remonter au XVme, reste à décovered.
We have reasons [handwritten: to] suppose that it was the centre in the eastern part of the town where our soundings revealed several dwellings as well as tombs contemporary with the 18th dynasty. Our stratigraphic excavations at the site of the palace of the lastperiod Mycenaean Enkomi, without having reached the limits of this vast construction, have made it possible to recognise its architecture and layout.
Its walls are everywhere founded on rock, the building having been raised on available ground, on the edge of the older quarters of the town.
After having been burnt, the palace was covered by several small houses and bronze-foundry workshops, whose installations, comprising four successive levels, cover the building.
L'histoire de cette reconstruction que nous avons retracée dans l'ordre chronologique, reflète fidèlement les vicissitudes de la vie dans cette ville de Chypre pendant sa période finale, entre des XIII et XII siècles. Une des périodes les plus obscures de l'archéologie de l'île, et de l'histoire des pays méditerranéens en général.
As it will not be possible within the scope of this paper to detail an archaeological material comprising several thousand pieces, which are distributed stratigraphically over six different levels, I would simply like to refer to the reports on the 1949 and 1950 excavation campaigns, to the volume entitled Enkomi-Alasia [handwritten: I], either to the composition, and to appear at the end of the year.
