Akanthou-Moulos: Department survey of Moulos

On a visit to Moulos in 1961, Vassos Karageorghis and K. Nicolaou collected surface sherds from the western slope of the promontory at Akanthou-Moulos¹. They found Late Cypriot I-III pottery, Mycenaean IIIA and IIB-IIIA-B fragments and two Minoan IIB sherds, one a stirrup-jar handle incised after firing with a Cypro-Minoan sign¹. Roman and early Christian pottery lay across the rest of the plateau, with visible wall remains and large marble blocks¹. Karageorghis proposed that the Late Bronze Age sherds came from a cemetery rather than a settlement, since they lay in a small area and no building remains were found there, and suggested a single tomb opened clandestinely¹. The collection is registered as 1961/VIII-12/1¹.
