The project
In 1966 the Department of Antiquities excavated a Cypro-Geometric III tomb at Palloures, about 1 km north-west of Kapouti in the Nicosia district1. The tomb held amphorae in White Painted III and Black-on-Red I; jugs and bowls in Black-on-Red I, White Painted III and Grey Polished I; a small horn-shaped jug in Plain White III; and a lentoid Black-on-Red I flask with a rounded base1. A footnote in Karageorghis's chronicle of that year says the necropolis was unknown before this discovery1.
