Nea Paphos: Seasons 2010 and 2011

Summary/Abstract: The campaign of 2010 was mainly a study season devoted to analysis of finds collected during three previous years of intensive salvage excavation. The study was focused on finds from the 2007 campaign. The only fieldwork undertaken was cleaning necessitated by inundation of trenches during the very wet winter of 2009/2010, especially in room 1SW of the Villa of Theseus and rooms 19, 25, 31 and 32 of the "Hellenistic House". In 2011, the western limit of the Hellenistic House was excavated, with hot-air exhaust channel between rooms 31 and 32, paved room 28S, cistern/basin pedestal, staircase 28N and corner room 33. The other main area of excavation was the northwestern corner of the main courtyard where remains of an aboveground cistern(?) were found. Indications of the existence of a lower courtyard level were uncovered in the form of balustrade fragments well below the late surface.
