The project
In 1889 Max Ohnefalsch-Richter worked at the Bronze Age necropolis of Lithargiais, near Péra, where the graves were domed1. The Catalogue of the Cyprus Museum by J. L. Myres and M. Ohnefalsch-Richter (1899) records the work in one entry, which names the necropolis and its domed graves without giving individual graves, sectors or a narrower date within the Bronze Age1. The catalogue refers to Ohnefalsch-Richter's Tamasos und Idalion as forthcoming1.
