Kokkinokremnos
Pyla-Kokkinokremos ( el, Πυλα-Κοκκινοκρεμος) (red cliff)Excerpt of wall mounted text in exhibit room number 2 at Larnaca District Museum was a Late Bronze Age settlement on Cyprus, abandoned after a brief occupation. History The site of Pyla-Kokkinokremos, located on a rocky plateau, lies about 10 km east of Larnaca, ancient Kition, and some 20 km southwest of Enkomi, two major Bronze Age centres of the 13th-12th c. BC, the period known as Late Cypriot IIC and IIIA. The site was explored by Porphyrios Dikaios in 1952, by Vassos Karageorghis in 1981-1982 and, more recently, in 2010–2013, by Vassos Karageorghis and Athanasia Kanta. Since 2014, the excavation is a joint venture between Joachim Bretschneider (Ghent University), Jan Driessen ( UCLouvain) and Athanasia Kanta ( Mediterranean Archaeological Society). Based on the different explorations, it can be assumed that the entire plateau of c. seven hectares was densely occupied. Most telling is ...

Marki Alonia
Marki Alonia is a prehistoric settlement in central Cyprus. Excavations were carried out at the site between 1990 and 2000 by David Frankel and Jennifer Webb of La Trobe University. These showed that it was occupied from the earliest phase of the Early Bronze Age (about 2400 BCE) until well into the Middle Bronze Age. It is the most extensively excavated site of the period, and the only one with a long sequence of occupation, which provides evidence for the development of Philia culture The Philia culture (or Philia group) existed on the island of Cyprus at the start of the Early Bronze Age between 2450 and 2200 BC. It derives its name from a location in Morphou, Cyprus. Characteristics Philia culture marks the transition from t ....

Moonlight Head
Moonlight Head is a locality located on the Great Ocean Road in southwest of Victoria on the Southern Ocean. It is believed to be the headland seen by Matthew Flinders from the ''Investigator Investigator may refer to: Occupations Government and law * Detective, a person who investigates crimes, can be a rank and job in a police department, state or federal employee, or a civilian called a private detective * Inspector, a police rank ...'' during a break in showery weather, on the night of 20 April 1802. It is notable for the vertical cliffs up to 50 metres high, which in some places overhang, and expose geological structures such as cross bedding, scour and fill channels and variable sizes of concretions. There is also a sea cave and a massive active landslip, which extends inland for 500 metres. As a consequence amethyst stones, which give the place its name, can be found on the pebbly beach. This stretch of the coast is renowned for its shipwrecks, with the ship, ''Fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bronze Age
The Bronze Age is a historic period, lasting approximately from 3300 BC to 1200 BC, characterized by the use of bronze, the presence of writing in some areas, and other early features of urban civilization. The Bronze Age is the second principal period of the three-age system proposed in 1836 by Christian Jürgensen Thomsen for classifying and studying ancient societies and history. An ancient civilization is deemed to be part of the Bronze Age because it either produced bronze by smelting its own copper and alloying it with tin, arsenic, or other metals, or traded other items for bronze from production areas elsewhere. Bronze is harder and more durable than the other metals available at the time, allowing Bronze Age civilizations to gain a technological advantage. While terrestrial iron is naturally abundant, the higher temperature required for smelting, , in addition to the greater difficulty of working with the metal, placed it out of reach of common use until th ...
