people as early as the Late Bronze Age, when it was known also in Egypt during the Tell el Amarna period, probably as the result of an influence from near Asia.
Tomb 18 found in 1934 and 1 (discovered in 1947) also of the early Iron Age which contained no earlier or later remains, produced further material for the study of the ceramics used during the period of Chypriote Pe I or late Cypriote III and the relationship of the subMycenaean pottery to the latest Mycenaean pottery and the earliest specimens of the grenary ware (§ 76 et 77). [handwritten: Chapter] Chapter III - (§ 78 à 146). We publish here the first report on the excavation of the great building 18, discovered during the 1945 season in the western part of the Enkomi site and further explored in 1950 as the result of something.
It is the most extensive and best built construction found until now at Enkomi. Some of the blocks used for its fine ashlar walls measure 9 feet in length and 4 1/2 feet high. The south facade has several big windows and four stairways; floors made of thick layers of compressed white earth are hard with a well smoothed surface. The upper layer (assises) of the double faced walls are hollow. No bricks seem to have been used (§ 78-87). The building consisting of one central part and two wings is not yet entirely excavated. But the general plan shows one rectangular inner court with the main rooms built against the outer walls. The right of the main gate a corridor and staircase let to the first floor (§ 84). After having been destroyed by fire, the ruins have been partitioned and reused for small habitations or bronze foundries.
