The project
Levelling at Dhyo Pamboulia, Laxia, exposed a tomb in 1964, and the tomb was excavated; the annual notice reports a new Iron Age cemetery1. The tomb had a small semicircular chamber, a stomion blocked by a single slab and a long dromos extending from one side. It held one skeleton and four vessels: a Bichrome IV jug, a Black-on-Red II (IV) juglet with a lateral spout, a White-Painted IV bowl and a Black-on-Red II (IV) bowl, entered under inventory number 1964/1–16/11. V. Karageorghis dated the tomb to Cypro-Archaic I, 700–600 BCE1.
