Mandres-Moutti Galaktini: Department rescue, 1969

In 1969 the Department of Antiquities recorded a rescue at Galaktini, near Mandres, after levelling exposed a sanctuary deposit of the Archaic period; the annual report notes that much of its material had already been looted¹. Fragments of clay and limestone statuettes were recovered¹. A small draped limestone kouros, 27 cm high, from a looted sanctuary near Mandres is in the Zénon Piéridès collection in Larnaca, and a footnote in the report identifies it as belonging to the Galaktini deposit; how it entered the collection is not recorded¹. Vassos Karageorghis published the account in his Chronique des fouilles for 1969¹.
