About the "survey" by W. FORRER:
"In town", I helped, as often as necessary, W. Forrer, in his important work of systematic distinction of the two main periods of the site of Enkomi-Alasia, the Bronze Late phase with fine "ashlar" walls and the later phases in small or medium rubble belonging to Cypriot Iron I.
In the areas where neither W. Forrer nor I ourselves took part in the excavations, the operation is not always easy or certain. Too often, the deterioration of the ruins leaves a doubt about the chronological attribution of this or that portion of wall or of wall foundation, not to mention the places where the multiple superimpositions of remains prevent one from recognising exactly the extent or even the existence of some of them, and a fortiori their true dating. Nevertheless, on the whole, we were happily surprised, Wolfgang and I ourselves, by the general harmony of our estimates and datings of the architectural remains.
