History

1970
Italian Archaeological Mission of the Institute opened its first season at Palaeokastro by the sea near Ayia Irini, under C. Gallavotti. Nicolaou gives the aim as investigating relations between Cyprus and the Minoan-Mycenaean world. Karageorghis's Chronique reports three sectors: the town on the Palaeokastro hill, a sector west of it, and the seaside necropolis.

Second season, a very long campaign, with three separate excavations at three places on the site, each reported by its own director.

Third season under Gallavotti, with Pecorella, Quilici and Rocchetti (printed 'Rochetti' in the Chronique) as directors of works. Hellenistic and Graeco-Roman town (houses, baths, workshops, a fortification wall with rectangular towers) investigated, and 25 tombs excavated at the seaside necropolis, all of the Archaic period.
