Detailed investigation of the alluvial deposits in the Lower Vasilikos Valley, in the vicinity of Kalavasos, Cyprus, has revealed a clearly defined sequence of terraces and fills. Four alluvial terraces are present in the Lower Vasilikos Valley, at heights of approximately 10 m, 25 m, 55 m and 80 m above the bedrock floor of the valley. This sequence of terraces corresponds with the alluvial terraces of the Mesaoria Plain and the Kyrenia Range which were described previously by Ducloz (1965 and 1972). The sequence of fills in the Lower Vasilikos Valley broadly corresponds with that of the Older and Younger Fills which have been observed to be present in other parts of the Mediterranean Basin (Vita-Finzi, 1969). However, the Younger Fill in the Lower Vasilikos Valley differs from the deposits which were described by Vita-Finzi (1969) in two ways. First, it is composed of two (not one) distinct units, a coarse (channel zone) and a finer (floodplain) deposit. Secondly, radio-carbon dating suggests that overbank sedimentation in the Lower Vasilikos Valley was under way by Aceramic Neolithic times (c. 5800-5250 BC). This date is considerably in advance of any that have been advocated previously for the onset of this phase of alluviation in other parts of the Mediterranean Basin
