The project
In 1965 the Department of Antiquities excavated two tombs beneath the village of Piyi1. The annual chronicle describes them as already looted and dates both to Hellenistic I. It records unguentaria of ordinary fabric and matte-glazed cups from the two tombs together, without assigning particular objects to either1. The report lists them under the regional museum of Famagusta with inventory numbers 164 and 1651.
