Koma tou Yialou 'Kortylas': rescue of an Archaic tomb

In 1966 levelling at Kortylas, on the northern edge of Koma tou Yialou, exposed a tomb that Michael Loulloupis and A. Christodoulou of the Section of Archaeological Exploration excavated for the Department of Antiquities¹. The annual report dates the tomb, C.S. 1616, to Cypro-Archaic II and notes that the cemetery there had not been known before¹. It held mainly Plain White V pottery, among it an exceptionally large jug with a spherical body, short cylindrical neck, trefoil mouth and double handle, 40.5 cm high, and a bronze fibula of the same type as one from Politiko¹. The report says the material from the tombs it describes was kept at the premises of the Section¹.
