The project
John Linton Myres opened a number of trenches at Hala Sultan Tekke in 1894, west of the Larnaca Salt Lake. Fischer and Bürge report that they produced no cultural layers, only stray sherds1. The same authors identify these trenches as the beginning of the documented exploration of Hala Sultan Tekke and its surroundings1.
