A short season was held from June 9-July 6. Work included additional geophysical survey using GPR at Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitros by Katie Kearns, Jeff Leon, and Thomas Urban. This year saw the use of an EM-conductivity meter in an effort to detect signatures of possible activities (e.g., metallurgy, feasting, etc.) inside Building XVI (report forthcoming). Sheri Pak headed up our efforts to prepare finds from previous work at Maroni by the Maroni Valley Archaeological Survey Project for delivery to the Larnaca Museum. At the same time we were able to take a closer look at finds from the 2012 test excavation of Building XVI at Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitrios. Artemis Georgiou’s study revealed a wide array of Late Cypriot IIC ceramic vessels, including several vessels associated with drinking/feasting, such as the White Slip II krater shown below.
