Cremation at the Royal Necropolis of Salamis New Bioarchaeological Insights
This article provides an analysis of cremated human remains from the Royal Necropolis of Salamis, enabling new insights about a little-known funerary rite in Cyprus. Cremation was seldom practiced in Cyprus, never superseding inhumation as the primary funerary rite throughout the island’s history. Cremated human remains have received little scholarly attention, rarely being discussed in the bioarchaeological literature of Cyprus. Until now, legac…
Cremated human remains from Palaepaphos-Skales: A case study from the iron age of Cyprus
From the Ashes of the Bronze Age: Thermally Altered Human Remains from Iron Age (Cypro-Geometric and Cypro-Archaic) Mortuary Contexts in Cyprus
This paper surveys the published evidence for thermally altered human remains on Cyprus from mortuary contexts dating to the Iron Age (Cypro-Geometric and Cypro-Archaic periods), while outlining new theoretical perspectives and scientific approaches resulting from the development of analytical methods that have expanded the potential for specialists to study such remains on the island through the lens of funerary taphonomy. Most of our current kn…
The New Swedish Cyprus Expedition (The Söderberg Expedition): Excavations at Hala Sultan Tekke autumn 2021 and spring 2022
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 …
The New Swedish Cyprus Expedition (The Söderberg Expedition): Excavations at Hala Sultan Tekke 2020 and 2021
In 2020 and 2021, the eleventh and twelfth seasons of excavations at the Late Bronze Age city of Hala Sultan Tekke were carried out in the cemetery of Area A. Based on indications provided by a large-scale magnetometer survey, two tombs exposed by intensive farming were located, Tombs RR and SS. The excavation of Tomb RR, which had started in 2018, was concluded. The total minimum number (MNI) of skeletons in this tomb, of which most were incompl…
