Tremithos valley: the Umeå survey under Baudou (1980–1982)
1980–1982 · Agia Anna (Tremithos valley)
In 1980 Evert Baudou, a member of the Swedish Expedition at Hala Sultan Tekke, surveyed the Tremithos river from Ayia Anna to Kalochorio in search of Mesolithic remains. Several hunting and fishing sites gave flint scrapers and other tools. A later survey names Baudou and Paul Åström and reports simple flint tools that seem to predate the Khirokitia material, but no polished stone or sherds. The project, run by the University of Umeå under Baudou and Roger Engelmark, surveyed again in March 1981 and published a preliminary report for 1981–1982.
