The project

Kyriakos Nicolaou excavated at Angastina-Vounos in 1972 for the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus¹. He published the work as "A Late Cypriot Necropolis at Angastina in the Mesaoria" in the Report of the Department of Antiquities Cyprus (1972), pp. 58–108². Keswani considers it possible that some loop-handled bowls from Angastina and Enkomi were made in the same workshop or workshops³.
