Kalavasos - Kopetra : 1991
Abstract
"Fresh out of the classroom and beckoned by the long mild days of early summer, we returned to Cyprus this year for our fifth season of work at the Late Roman settlement at Kopetra. In previous years our museum-sponsored project explored this small, previously unknown community by surface survey and selective excavation. Preliminary results revealed a settlement of perhaps five hectares that stood atop a high ridge overlooking the Vasilikos Valley, about halfway between the island's south coast and the present village of Kalavasos . Between 1987 and 1990 we traced the general outlines of this small Late Roman settlement and discovered two basilicas that served its residents in the sixth and early seventh centuries. This year we completed work at the second basilica and undertook trial excavations in three other parts of the inhabited site."--First paragraph.
