Structural analysis of painted design on pottery has been used by anthropologists to measure degrees of intersite interaction. In this article, design structures of Red-on-White pottery from three sites of the Chalcolithic period in Cyprus-Lemba-Lakkous, Kissonerga-Mosphilia, and Erimi-Pamboula-are compared and contrasted. The analysis is confined to three major morphological types of the Middle Chalcolithic period: the flask, the spouted bowl, and the hemibowl. Comparative results suggest that stylistic links between Mosphilia and Erimi are stronger than between either site and Lemba. This evidence contradicts standard explanations of distance as the most critical factor in intersite interaction and encourages archaeologists to seek other explanations for the phenomenon during the Chalcolithic period
