Ancient Cypriot writing was found on a wall dating from the 6th century BC at an archeological dig in Palaepaphos, the department of antiquities said on Wednesday...
The 2024 excavation continued to focus on a monument north of a 186m monumental wall shaped like a P at the same site and which faces the sea.
It had been thought it was part of a fortification and functioned as a defensive tower but the latest round of excavations points to it being unconnected and probably devotional.
[emphasis added] Previous excavations have shown that the site was founded on a layer of the Late Cypriot III period (12th-11th centuries BC), then fell into disuse before being repaired during the Cypro-Archaic period (6th century BC).
Last year, on the exterior of what the department called an "enigmatic structure" the representations of two engraved ships were found, which resemble corresponding depictions of ships in Kition.
In 2024, another ship was spotted, but its excavation remained unfinished.
Digs at the site were started in the 1950s by a British expedition, and more recently from 2006 to 2008 by a team from the University of Cyprus. These brought to light the 186m wall although the dating of various parts of it and its use remain unclear.
During the 2024 excavation season, work initially focussed on investigating a tunnel that crosses the wall at a depth of 2.3m.
The use of these tunnels remains puzzling, the department said, although one theory says parts of it were built in 499/498 BC during the siege of Palaepaphos by the Persians.

Cypriot syllabary at OmniGlotThe Cypro-syllabic script was the characteristic type of script used in Cyprus during the 1st millenium BC for writing the Greek language. It was mainly use by the city-kingdoms up to the 4th century BC, when it was replaced by the Greek alphabet. Decipherment of the script began in 1871 and today 58 linear symbols are known, with five representing vowels. The wider Paphos area has yielded a large number of inscriptions on tombs and in sanctuaries. -- V1.1 - April 2016
