Joan du Plat Taylor’s Excavations at the Late Bronze Age Mining Settlement at Apliki Karamallos, Cyprus

Abstract:

Joan du Plat Taylor originally undertook rescue excavations at Apliki in 1938 and 1939, discovering evidence of Late Bronze Age metallurgical activities. This volume forms the first part of a comprehensive re-examination of her findings, with the aim of furthering a greater understanding of primary copper production in the Bronze Age. It includes a detailed description of the excavated areas and finds and special studies of some of the most important categories of materials - pottery, loom weights, marked objects, stamp seals, stone tools and animal bones.
