NEA PAPHOS SEASON 2008

Summary/Abstract: Three campaigns in spring and late autumn, conducted on behalf of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus and supervised by representatives of the Polish Mission, conducted salvage excavations in different places scattered all over the site, complementing or modifying the design of the projected shelter. The only regular excavations were carried out in front of the Villa of Theseus entrance, in September and October, uncovering the access to the cistern found in 2007 in the western courtyard of the so-called Hellenistic House. The last rooms in the southeastern part of the Hellenistic House (destroyed in the beginning of the 2nd century AD) were also explored, bringing to light a painted limestone bust of one of the Dioskouroi. The northern part of the Insula of the House of Aion was also excavated, uncovering two new rooms.
