Ayios Theodoros: Department rescue of tombs at Soleas and Trypiti

In 1965 three tombs were excavated for the Department of Antiquities of a newly discovered Late Cypriot cemetery at Alonia, in the school courtyard at Ayios Theodoros Soleas¹. Tomb 1 was intact and held Red-Polished IV and Apliki-ware jugs, a White Slip I bowl in bichrome technique and Late Cypriot I bronze daggers; Tomb 2, partly pillaged, retained faience heads and a terracotta figurine of a woman holding a baby; Tomb 3 had been completely pillaged¹. About 3 km south of Ayios Theodoros, an intact tomb at Trypiti, used for two burials, held amphorae, jugs, plates and cups in White Painted III and IV and Bichrome IV¹. Michael Loulloupis and A. Christodoulou are named among the excavators¹. The finds were registered as CS 1484 and CS 1539 and were kept in the premises of the Section of Archaeological Research¹.
