KNews reports that a team of researchers led by Giorgos Vavouranakis of the University of Athens has completed an excavation at Erimi Pamboula, an archaeological site in southern Cyprus occupied between 3500 and 2900 B.C. The recent investigation uncovered the floor of a house with a pit and a platform, the wall of a circular structure, and a pit containing burned deer bones and antler fragments. Stone tools, unfinished jewelry pieces and a figurine made of the green or grey stone picrolite, and decorated pottery dated to the early third millennium B.C. were also recovered. To read about prosperous Bronze Age merchants on Cyprus, go to "In the Time of the Copper Kings."

Illegal settlements? Damn colonialists are everywhere. I bet they were white men, too.

I just posted the other day about the ‘Cat Problem’ they have on Cypress.

They’d better not be displacing ANY cats while they dig for treasures! ;)

They’ve trained all the cats to dig there as if a litter box. It’ll be done in no time.

Swamp Witch
Jim Stafford

Black water Hattie lived back in the swamp
Where the strange green reptiles crawl
Snakes hang thick from the cypress trees
Like sausage on a smokehouse wall...
