The project
In 1966 a Cypro-Classical II tomb at Paleoklisia, in Ayia Marina (Skyllouras), was registered as C.S. 16171. The chronicle names M. Loulloupis and A. Christodoulou as excavators of the tombs in this section of the Department of Antiquities' work1. The tomb held pottery of types VI and VII, among it a lentoid Plain White VII flask, 22.5 cm high, and a Stroke Polished I (VI) jug, 15.5 cm high, which the report calls rare1. There were also an iron tool with a bone handle, 14 cm long and tentatively identified as a chisel, and an iron knife 15.2 cm long1. The material from these tombs was kept in the rooms of the Archaeological Exploration Section1.
