“…4 See Appendix 1. 5 Recent studies, e.g., those by Kozal (2015;2023) have convincingly demonstrated the Anatolian provenance of this ware. 6 A very similar juglet with only slight variations in the decoration, perhaps from the same workshop, was exported to Alalakh; see Bergoffen 2005, 158, pl.…”

In 2021 and 2022, the 13th and 14th seasons of excavations at the Late Bronze Age site of Hala Sultan Tekke were carried out in Area A, and as a result of these investigations numerous tombs were found. These tombs were threatened by farming. Four magnetic anomalies, indicated in the 2017 survey magnetometer map, were investigated. They represent three tombs, L198, TT, and UU, and the probable Offering Pit SS-S. The minimum number of individuals (MNI) in Pit Tomb L198, which contains only secondary burials, is six. They are associated with 21 ceramic vessels of which a few were imported from Anatolia. Chamber Tomb TT was completely excavated and contained a minimum of 25 individuals and 78 objects. Among these are 47 ceramic vessels of which a few are from the Mycenaean sphere of culture. Other mortuary gifts are various objects of metal, faience, carnelian, haematite, and rock crystal in addition to three scarabs. The incompletely excavated large (Chamber?) Tomb UU contained, so far, a minimum of 19 individuals and 140 objects. They comprise 124 ceramic vessels including numerous Late Helladic, Late Minoan, and Anatolian pottery. Other finds are bronze and gold jewellery, the latter including a diadem, and a duck-shaped ivory box from the same context as Egyptian-imported vessels of calcite. None of the tombs and the offering pit, which can all be roughly dated to the 14th century BC, were looted. The special arrangements of the human bones in Chamber Tomb TT and the multitude of imported materials in Tomb UU offer additional insights into complex Late Cypriot mortuary practices and the far-reaching interregional connections of the urban élites of Hala Sultan Tekke.

As an important port to the Eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus has been the geopolitical focus of any power residing in the region for ages. The Karpas Peninsula in Cyprus, as a strategic location, is of unique value to both the whole of Cyprus and to the Eastern Mediterranean. Due to the sea currents and the direction of the wind, the first feasible landmass reachable in Cyprus, the Karpas Peninsula, constitutes a key location for sea-based civilizations of the region, specifically during the Bronze Age. A novel example, a village referred to as Kaleburnu in the southeastern part of the peninsula, retains exclusive significance as a location facing the Ugarit during the Bronze Age.Kaleburnu-Kral Tepesi/Galinoporni-Vasili was a settlement in the southeastern part of the Karpas Peninsula. The area of Kral Tepesi, based on a tall hill that holds 2 km inland from the coastal line, geographically possesses visibility to detect approaching sea vessels or land-based messengers and perhaps attacks coming from the eastern direction, making it a secure site. The Kral Tepesi center of Late Bronze Age Cyprus hosts unfamiliar build plans boasting properties exclusive to the site. In addition to the deviation of architectural norms of the time, the finds unearthed during excavations in KralTepesi have also supplemented to defining the uniqueness of the site. Furthermore, the work on Kral Tepesi has unraveled 2 distinct bronze hordes in Cyprus in situ and with regards to finds related to architectural contexts of buildings. These discoveries comprise the most wholesome and comprehensive list of pieces both in quantity and quality of Cyprus up to date. Conclusions drawn with the available data and research depict the inhabitants of Kaleburnu-Kral Tepesi to have had significantly vigorous economic roles as agents of the Late Cypriot Bronze Age IIC. As maritime trade routes reveal, the location of Kral Tepesi on the island as a settlement, establishes it as the sole mediator between Cyprus and the dominant and economically vibrant coastal cities of the Levant of the Eastern Mediterranean in contemporary time.

“…The main types found at Tell Atchana are Red‐on‐Black (ROB), White Painted (WP) V–VI, Black Lustrous Wheel‐made (BL), Red Lustrous Wheel‐made (RL), White Lustrous Wheel‐made (WL), Bichrome (BIC), Monochrome (MOC), Base‐Ring (BR) I–II, White Slip (WS) I–II and White Shaved (WSh). Although the origin of RL is apparently Rough Cilicia (Kozal ), it is still treated as being among this group. The most common wares amongst these categories are White Slip ware (hereafter WS) and Monochrome ware (hereafter MOC) (Gates ; Bergoffen ; Kozal ).…”

Geochemical and Petrographic Analysis of Late Bronze Age Cypriot Ceramics (White Slip I and II and Monochrome) from Tell Atchana/Alalakh (Hatay) in the Amuq Valley

White Slip ware, both White Slip I and II, and Monochrome ware are Middle to Late Bronze Age Cypriot pottery types found across a large area of the Eastern Mediterranean region. A vast quantity of these wares has also been uncovered in Tell Atchana/ancient Alalakh in Hatay in southern Anatolia. We analysed a total of 56 White Slip (n = 36) and Monochrome potsherds (n = 20) from Tell Atchana using XRF, ICP-MS and petrographic thin-section methods. The main aim of the study was to explore the compositional characteristics of the wares and to determine whether they are local imitations of the Cypriot White Slip and Monochrome wares or represent Cypriot exports to this region. The analytical results proved that White Slip I and II were produced from raw clay of mafic and ultramafic source rocks exposed in the Troodos Massif, available in the Limassol area of southern Cyprus and traded to Tell Atchana. Examples of Monochrome ware excavated in Tell Atchana were also imported to the region, most probably from east/north-east Cyprus. These results demonstrate a close trading connection between Tell Atchana/Alalakh and southern Cyprus during the Middle to Late Bronze Age.
