Unearthing the Past: A 5,000-Year-Old Mystery in Paphos
In the heart of Paphos, at ChlorakasPalloures, archaeologists have uncovered remarkable artifacts that breathe life into a 5,000yearold civilization, including a rare burial of a sixyearold child laid facedown and remnants of ancient round houses filled with pottery and early metalwork. Led by Dr. Bleda Düring, this excavation not only reveals the dietary practices and health of its people but also marks Cyprus’s significant leap into metallurgy with finds like a copper pendant and chisel, shaping the island’s future in the Bronze Age.
