Asgata-Kalavasos mining district: the METAL PLACES survey (University of Cyprus)

The METAL PLACES survey recorded ancient mine galleries and slag heaps in the Asgata-Kalavasos copper-mining district, at Plathkies, Mavridia, Mavri Sykia, Kokkinokremos and Petra¹. V. Kassianidou directed the 2022 season for the University of Cyprus, with the Department of Antiquities as host and INTERREG V-A Greece-Cyprus as funder¹. The team used drone photogrammetry at the Plathkies galleries and sampled slag for radiocarbon dating of the metallurgy¹. The evidence from the district was assigned to the Roman and Late Antique periods¹. The survey was reported complete by November 2022¹.
