Archaeological discoveries in Cyprus
Overview
Archaeological research in Cyprus has utilized advanced digital technologies to uncover new details regarding ancient structures and artifacts.
In one study, high-resolution laser scans of the Kition Kathari site revealed 23 previously unknown ship carvings on temple masonry. These findings suggest that ship graffiti at the site spanned a broader timeline than previously thought, extending from the Late Bronze Age into the Early Iron Age. The carvings indicate connections to Levantine and Aegean shipbuilding traditions.
Separately, an international research team used photogrammetry and digital modeling to identify the remains of a monumental temple near the ancient city of Kourion. By analyzing limestone fragments originally discovered in 1997, researchers reconstructed a structure estimated to have been built in the late 1st century BCE. The findings suggest the site may represent a rare instance of a temple situated outside a traditional urban center.
