The project
In 1966 the Department of Antiquities recorded a deposit of Cypro-Archaic I sherds at Troullia, a locality 1 km west of Lythrangomi, Lythrangomi-Troullia1. It included a large fragment of a Bichrome IV amphora neck, in the eastern regional style of Cyprus, inventory C.S. 16001. The fragment shows a bird with open wings lowering its neck to peck against a lotus-flower background, a scene Karageorghis describes as unusually realistic and active for the vase painting of the period1.
