Completion of the excavations at Kataliondas Kourvellos
Cyprus, Department of Antiquities, 03-11-2011
The Ministry of Communications and Works, Department of Antiquities, announces the completion of the second and last season of excavations of the University of Geneva at the site of Kataliondas Kourvellos, under the direction of Dr Julien Beck. This year’s investigations focussed once more on the slopes at the base of the bedrock knob, where trenches A to F were opened in 2010. To the southwest, trenches C and D were expanded to form the southwest sector. The remains of the stone structure, found in 2010, were investigated revealing a more than three-meter long retaining wall. Closer to the bedrock knob, many rock-cut structures were unearthed, including steps, circular pits, and partition walls, some preserved up to 50 cm high. Regular, Cypro-Classical stonewalls were discovered as well, perpendicular to the aforementioned rock-cut partition walls.
