Phlasou: Department rescue tombs (1969, 1976)

In 1969 the Department of Antiquities excavated a Roman tomb in the school yard at Phlasou, dated by the report to Roman II and registered as CS. 1747¹. It held ordinary jugs, numerous glass unguentaria and clay lamps, one showing a man who seems to hold a goose, and a pair of white faience grape-cluster pendants with blue glaze¹. In 1976 a tomb at Ayios Epiphanios, damaged by levelling work, yielded several vessels of local Cypro-Classical I-II fabrics and an Ionian skyphos 18 cm high and 15 cm in diameter, with the registration number CS 2392². The report records that the material from the tombs in that section, this one among them, was acquired by the Museum².
