Kissonerga-Kastambena: rescue of a Cypro-Classical tomb

In 1967 a large intact tomb of the Late Classical period was excavated at Kastambena, on the north edge of the site at Kissonerga, for the Department of Antiquities¹. It contained two large White Painted VII jugs, large pointed-base amphorae and terra sigillata, and the annual notice suggests that it was used again in the Roman period; the notice gives no tomb number¹. Karageorghis reports that the White Painted VII jugs were of a type that appeared particular to the Paphos region¹. One jug is illustrated as an object of the Paphos District Museum, inventory number 1794¹.
