“…Kouris River antigorite pebbles, with the exception of blue-green samples 51 and 52 and non-blue-green samples 53-59, exhibit chemistries similar to blue-green antigorite specimens from the Neolithic sites of Kholetria Ortos (samples 63-8 Rupp et al 1986). These archaeological contexts are widely scattered in space and time (see Figure 1 and Table 1).…”

The Canadian Pulaipaphos Survey Project in the Paphos district of south-western Cyprus investigated extensive areas of the Esouzas, Xero, and Dhiarizos River valieys, locating hundreds of archaeological sites spanning the nine millennia f r o m the aceramic Neolithic period to the recent era (Rupp et al. 1984 and1986). Antigorite artefacts were recovered ,from Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Age settlements. A number of geological sources have been proposedJor the material from which these artefacts were manufactured. The results of neutron activation analyses of archaeological and geological specimens suggest that the Troodos ophiolitelKouris River secondary deposits were the primary source of antigorite for the prehistoric populations of the study area. Extreme care musf be taken when analysing antigorite samples to avoid material with grey-black magnetite-rich inclusions, since these have radically different trace element chemistries,fiom the pure antigorite.

Cyprus between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages (ca. 600–800)

Research on early medieval Cyprus has focused on the late antique "golden age" (late fourth/early fifth to seventh century) and the so-called Byzantine "Reconquista" (post-AD 965) while overlooking the intervening period. This phase was characterized, supposedly, by the division of the political sovereignty between the Umayyads and the Byzantines, bringing about the social and demographic dislocation of the population of the island. This book proposes a different story of continuities and slow transformations in the fate of Cyprus between the late sixth and the early ninth centuries.Analysis of new archaeological evidence shows signs of a continuing link to Constantinople. Moreover, together with a reassessment of the literary evidence, archaeology and material culture help us to reappraise the impact of Arab naval raids and contextualize the confrontational episodes throughout the ebb and flow of Eastern Mediterranean history: the political influence of the Caliphate looked stronger in the second half of the seventh century, the administrative and ecclesiastical influence of the Byzantine empire held sway from the beginning of the eighth to the twelfth century. Whereas the island retained sound commercial ties with the Umayyad Levant in the seventh and eighth centuries, at the same time politically and economically it remained part of the Byzantine sphere. This belies the idea of Cyprus as an independent province only loosely tied to Constantinople and allows us to draw a different picture of the cultural identities, political practices and hierarchy of wealth and power in Cyprus during the passage from Late Antiquity to the early Middle Ages. Luca Zavagno received his BA degree in History from the University Ca'Foscari, Venice; he completed his PhD studies at the University of Birmingham on the society, culture, economics and politics of Byzantine cities. He is Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Bilkent University. Dr. Zavagno is the author of many articles on the Byzantine and early Medieval Mediterranean and of the co-edited volumes Islands of the Eastern Mediterranean: A History of Cross Cultural Encounters (2014), Goods on the Move: Merchants, Networks and Communication Routes in the Medieval and Early Modern Era (2016) and of Cities in Transition: Urbanism in Byzantium between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages (2009).

“…In the course of an extensive archaeological survey of the valleys of the rivers Ezousas, Xeros, and Dhiarizos in the Paphos district of southwestern Cyprus, a large amount of ceramic material from the Neolithic period through to the present day has been collected and described (Rupp et al 1984).…”
