REPORT ON THE SOUNDINGS CARRIED OUT IN SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER OF THE YEAR 1958 AT ENKOMI (CYPRUS).
The soundings of 1958 were carried out to verify the indications given by the magnetic survey of Prof. [handwritten: Dr. M.] Aitken. [handwritten: (1)] Only the archaeological results proper will be discussed here; in this report, the Roman numerals correspond to points presenting an magnetic anomaly, and the Arabic numerals to topographic points. The soundings will be described in numerical order; for each of them the study of the earth layers will precede the analysis of the material; as the figured documentation is not yet available, one will confine oneself, on the one hand, to alluding to the architecture only when it provides details for the stratigraphy and, on the other hand, to give only the salient features of the pottery to justify the attribution of the layers. The present report is therefore rather an account of the results obtained than an exhaustive study of these soundings.
To avoid repetition, we indicate in advance the chronology adopted after [handwritten: C.F.A. Schaeffer,] ENKOMI-ALASIA I, and the abbreviations used in the following pages:
| Middle Bronze: MB | B.C. |
| MB III: | 1700-1600 |
| Late Bronze: RB | |
| RB I: | 1600-1450 |
| RB II: | 1450-1350 |
| RB III first phase: | 1350-1250 |
| RB III second phase: | 1250-1200 |
| Iron Age: | |
| Iron I initial phase: | 1200-1150 |
| Iron I intermediate phase: | 1150-1100 |
| Iron I final phase: | 1100-1050 |
The whole history of the site unfolds within the chronological framework above, later periods being represented only by sporadic finds.
