Human-cattle interactions in PPNB and Early/Middle Bronze Age Cyprus
All Things Cypriot
This handsome volume is a collection of essays written in honor of Stuart Swiny, director of the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (CAARI) from 1980 to 1995 and professor of Cypriot studies in the Department of Anthropology at the University at Albany. It is the outcome, in large part, of a symposium held in 2017 to mark Swiny’s retirement from the University at Albany and reflects his major contribution to the Bronze Age archaeol…

New evidence for diet and subsistence economy in Early and Middle Bronze Age Cyprus
Rethinking Middle Bronze Age Communities on Cyprus
Spatial and Social Discontinuities in Burial Practice and the Privatisation of Mortuary Space in Bronze Age Cyprus
This paper looks at spatial and social discontinuities in burial practice and in the intensity with which burial places became contested spaces in Bronze Age Cyprus. Early and Middle Bronze Age cemeteries are typically viewed as communal landscapes associated with ancestral claims to place and community, a process that involved varied levels of social negotiation and posturing linked at some sites with ritual and material culture elaboration and …

The production and distribution of plank-shaped figurines in Middle Bronze Age Cyprus
Les figurines plaquettes du Chypriote Moyen ont été étudiées jusqu’à présent en s’intéressant surtout à l’identité du ou des personnage(s) représenté(s), et à leur(s) fonction(s). Cette étude aborde la question du point de vue de leur manufacture et de leur distribution en les replaçant dans l’ensemble du corpus des figurines en Red Polished, notamment celles du site de Lapithos qui est probablement le centre à l’origine de cette production. Sans…
Identifying stone tools used in mining, smelting, and casting in Middle Bronze Age Cyprus
Metallurgical production sites are often difficult to identify in the archaeological record because ore beneficiation and slag processing in the past involved the use of ground stone tools that were similar to those used in other contexts to prepare cereals and foods. Analysis of the ground stone assemblage from a Middle Bronze Age copper mining and production site at Ambelikou Aletri in Cyprus provided an opportunity to distinguish industrial an…
A potter's workshop from Middle Bronze Age Cyprus
When fire swept through a workshop at Ambelikou Aletri on Cyprus in the nineteenth or twentieth century BC it brought a sudden halt to pottery production, leaving the latest batch of recently fired vessels. The remains of the kiln and its immediate surroundings provide a rare opportunity to gain direct insight into the technology and organisation of a Middle Bronze Age pottery workshop in the eastern Mediterranean. Analysis of the batch of cutawa…
A New Ecological Framework for Understanding Human–Environment Interactions in Arid Australia
Twenty years ago Stafford Smith and Morton (1990) published an ecological assessment of Australia as a series of propositions that illustrated why the continent stood apart ecologically from other arid areas around the world. The assessment has now been updated in light of recent work (Morton et al. 2011). Both studies provide an opportunity to question how archaeologists working in Australia have utilised ecological information: to what degree h…
Seasonality and Site Function in Chalcolithic Cyprus
Excavations at the small Chalcolithic site of Politiko-Kokkinorotsos in central Cyprus show that it was occupied around 2880–2670 cal BC. Fallow deer (Dama mesopotamica) form the major component of the substantial faunal assemblage. The structure of the animal population suggests a seasonal hunting site, an interpretation consistent with the lack of formal architecture and the range of stone tools. In this study, independent odontochronological a…
Cultural Regionalism and Divergent Social Trajectories in Early Bronze Age Cyprus
The homogeneous material culture that is characteristic of the earliest phase of the Cypriot Bronze Age (the Philia phase) broke down ca. 2300–2250 B.C.E. This change was prompted by the collapse of the eastern Mediterranean systems of interaction that provided the framework for the distribution of copper from Cyprus and in turn underpinned internal social and economic networks. Different responses to this event can be discerned across the island…

Social Strategies, Ritual and Cosmology in Early Bronze Age Cyprus
Early Bronze Age communities on the north coast of Cyprus developed a distinctive ceramic tradition with a rich array of forms, including ritual vessels with symbolically complex decoration reflecting the importance of horned animals and other phenomena in a local cosmology. These were deposited in tombs together with decorated drinking bowls and quantities of cattle bones, suggesting the high cost of funerary events. In addition, some tombs appe…
Excavations at Politiko Kokkinorotsos . A Chalcolithic Hunting Station in Cyprus
Recent excavations at a small Chalcolithic site in central Cyprus show that it was occupied about 2880–2670 cal BC. Fallow deer form the major component of the substantial faunal sample: both these and other animals were hunted. The chipped stone, too, fits with a model of intensive meat exploitation. The lack of formal architecture supports the general model of a seasonally or intermittently used hunters' village. Plant remains and a limited arr…
Exploiting a damaged and diminishing resource
Is a cemetery that has been robbed and pillaged for generations worthy of systematic research? It certainly is, given the application of a well conceived and executed project design. The authors show that the precise investigation of tomb architecture and identification of residual pottery can allow the detailed mapping of funerary practice over large areas of space and periods of time. Here they develop a narrative of increasing population and f…
Early Bronze Age Metal Trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. New Compositional and Lead Isotope Evidence From Cyprus
This paper presents the results of chemical and lead isotope analyses of 17 Early and Middle Bronze Age artefacts from Cyprus. These suggest that a number of objects are of non‐Cypriot copper and lead to the identification of several as imports, a new explanation for some artefact types as ingots and a discussion of the nature of deposits at the key Cypriot site of Vasilia. This in turn allows a reconsideration of the role of Cyprus in an Aegean/…
Neighbours
This paper shows the remarkable level of social history that can be drawn from the high quality excavation and analysis of a well-preserved stratigraphic sequence. A Bronze Age settlement in Cyprus could be defined as a series of households, comprising dwellings, outbuildings and courtyards that were established, extended, replaced or abandoned over some 500 years. The authors' interpretation offers intimate access to the private lives of the inh…

An Early Bronze Age Shell Pendant from Cyprus
This brief article takes as a starting point a carved shell pendant characteristic of the Philia facies of the Early Bronze Age in Cyprus. A discussion of this class of object leads on to a consideration of broader issues surrounding the nature and extent of Philia settlement. These pendants appear to have played a significant role in proclaiming and maintaining Philia identity and demonstrate an aspect of bidirectional interaction between Philia…

Pottery production and distribution in prehistoric Bronze Age Cyprus. An application of pXRF analysis
Characterizing the Philia Facies
Major changes mark the transition from the Chalcolithic to the Bronze Age in mid-third millennium Cyprus. Philia material has long been recognized as a crucial element in this transition, but analysis has been hampered by patchy discovery and reporting and the lack of stratified deposits. Pottery and other finds from recent excavations at Marki-Alonia provide the basis for a substantial reassessment of the Philia facies and its chronological and …

Metal procurement, artefact manufacture and the use of imported tin bronze in Middle Bronze Age Cyprus
Making an Impression
The twofold redistribution model of staple and wealth finance, developed by D' Altroy and Earle (1985) , has recently been applied to the archaeological record of the Late Cypriot Bronze Age (Keswani 1993). This paper examines an agricultural production and storage centre of the 13th century BC at Analiondas Palioklichia within this framework. It appears to have been a support village established on the igneous-sedimentary interface to mobilize a…

Population, Households, and Ceramic Consumption in a Prehistoric Cypriot Village
Evidence from excavations at the Early and Middle Bronze Age site of Marki-Alonia (ca. 2400–1900 B.C.) in central Cyprus provides the base for estimates of evolving population size, community structure, and the scale of ceramic consumption in a prehistoric village. We explore factors such as the region's carrying capacity, tombs associated with the site, average household size, and domestic and funerary ceramic discard. Despite the unavoidable cr…

Population, Households, and Ceramic Consumption in a Prehistoric Cypriot Village
Gender Inequality and Archaeological Practice
Contemporary disciplinary structures and stratification play an important role in determining intellectual priorities and establishing and maintaining acceptable areas of research in archaeology. This paper seeks to document current gender asymmetry within the sub-field of Cypriot archaeology and to examine the critical interface between this aspect of archaeological practice and the construction and interpretation of the archaeological record.
