In June and July 1950 a trial excavation of four weeks' duration was carried out at the site of Old Paphos (Palaepaphos) in Cyprus, a city renowned for its Temple of Aphrodite, erected, it was said, to commemorate her legendary birth off-shore from the foam of the sea, and her landing there. The site is occupied today by the small village of Kouklia, and lies on a bluff of soft limestone dropping steeply to a coastal plain which here narrows to the width of something like a mile. It is situated in the south-west of Cyprus, nine miles to the south-east of Ktima (map reference 3217 on sheet 2 of the 1/50,000 Map of Cyprus)
