The project
Karageorghis's chronicle for 1962 reports two tombs at Karmi under the entries of the Kyrenia Regional Museum1. At Laoura a previously looted tomb was excavated; it gave Base-Ring I-II, White-Slip I-II and Mycenaean III B sherds, a bronze pin and knife, and Karageorghis states that the discovery revealed a Late Cypriot cemetery at Karmi1. At Founji a Cypro-Archaic II tomb contained small amphorae, bowls and juglets in White Painted V and Bichrome V wares1.
