in fragments among the human bones (nearly a hundred skulls in total), including bovid skulls limited to the horns and frontal mass tal, whole bulls, sheep and goats; complete bulls with numerous parallel incised notches. In the western part of the hall, one alignsthen the discovery of four inscribed balls with Cypro-Minoan signs of baked clay, all in situ on the main floor of the sanctuary with pottery of the wavy line type of Mycenaean III C:2.
In summary, in the present state of research, the history of the sanctuary of Enkomi is as follows: founded in Late Bronze III (in English Late Cypriote IIIC) in the 13th century BC, it was burned and destroyed at the end of the Bronze Age (Close Style period) to be reconsrebuilt and remodelled several times at the beginning of the Iron I period according to a fairly complex plan. Then, when the pottery called Granary or Mycenaean III C:2 was in use, one proceeded to the enlargement of the sanctuary toward the East by building the great hall or rectangular courtyard, after suppression of most of the earlier subdivisions. On the other hand, one added the north and west wall benches and the small north-east corner area, where one found the god on a bronze ingot. The sanctuary remained in use for some time in the Iron Age (Protogeometric) as attested by the numerous finds such as the krater with an archer shooting at birds, the large pithos with a serpent and incised rim, the amphora and the vessels Protogeometric, as well as the bicephalous centaurs.
The excavations at Enkomi in 1963 produced other notable discoveries. One may mention a strange monument carefully built of baked bricks on solid foundations of two courses of large stones, with a course of stones every five courses of brick. As the publication in Enkomi-Alasia II by Mr W. Johnstone, this monument of oval plan offers a depression in the form of a rouche (bothrye), with an ashlar door with a lintel monolithic on the north side. This building, whose floor is at 3 m 45 below the present surface of the site, was at first taken for a Mycenaean potter's kiln. In reality it corresponds to a vast collective tomb, in use in the XIII e century and earlier, according to the abundant pottery grave goods recovered at the interior in numerous fragments (milk bowls, flat-based jugs, Mycenaean amphora
