Kalopsidha (Daoutis): Tomb 33 excavated by Kypros Tsangarides

Tomb 33 at Daoutis, a locality at Kalopsidha also called Oantis and Mancharies (lot 386, site B), was excavated by Kypros Tsangarides, Museum Assistant of the Cyprus Museum¹. Åström reports that Tsangarides observed the tomb, already partly looted, in 1954 and excavated it afterwards; the year of excavation is not recorded¹. The tomb had a shaft-shaped dromos a little over 2 m deep and 2 m wide. A narrow stomion led down abruptly to a roughly circular chamber about 3.5 m in diameter, its floor 1.40 m below the floor of the dromos¹. The tomb held a White Painted amphora, 19.5 cm high and mended, with a squat carinated body, a wide concave neck, an everted rim and two handles with pointed projections; its red-brown decoration includes networks, straight and wavy lines and framed caduceus patterns¹. Åström classifies the amphora as White Painted II of Kalopsidha type and dates it, and therefore the tomb, to Middle Cypriote I-II in Excavations at Kalopsidha and Ayios Iakovos in Cyprus¹.
