Archaeologists found a secret room during excavations near Larnaca

During archaeological excavations at the Kalavasos-Laroumena site near Larnaca, an ancient room and other artifacts were discovered. The finds were made while digging two trenches, each with an area of ​​16 square meters.

Archaeologists stated that they found many large dry stone walls containing ceramic objects. One of these walls was filled with thick layers of ash and charcoal, and the back wall of the room was located under the wall of a modern terrace. Additionally, scientists claim that one of the walls was unusually thick—about 90 centimeters.

According to archaeologists, the finds confirm the theory that the slope of the Laroumena hill was originally terraced in the Middle Cypriot period for architectural purposes, not for agriculture.

Also, during the excavations, spindles, shell beads, a stone pendant, and some clay pottery were found.

Archaeologists added that a very large number of processed stone flakes and blades suggest that the production of stone tools was carried out in the immediate vicinity of the site.
