Program Description

Erimi, Cyprus Site
The site of Erimi-Laonin tou Porakou is located in the Limassol region, South Coast of Cyprus. A large workshop along with a cemetery, and a domestic quarter have been identified as the ancient settlement of Erimi-Laonin tou Porakou, whose sequence of occupation ranges from Early to Late Bronze Age (2500-1600 BC). The site area lies on an high plateau on the eastern river slope facing southward the modern Kouris Dam, just on the border between Ypsonas and Erimi villages. Erimi-
Laonin tou Porakou has been firstly identified in 2007 as a result of the a survey project focusing on the middle and lower Kouris Valley (Kouris Valley Survey Project). By cross-linking evidence from collected surface materials and analysing the cartography, satellite and aerial images available within a Multilayer GIS System, it was possible to identify 14 sites ranging from the Early-Middle Bronze Age to the Medieval period.
