MPM Project 2016-17 (Cyprus): report

he project is mainly focusing on the landscape assessment of a context which is located in the southern zone of Cyprus (Limassol-eastern district) and is characterized by a wide hydrographic basin of the Mony/Pyrgos system. The study is based on a multidisciplinary scientific approach, involving archaeological specialists in different periods, geo-archaeologists, geo-morphologists and paleobotanists, topographers and archaeometrists, to create a more complete view of the area both diachronically and synchronically (Menozzi et alii 2018). This multi-disciplinary work employed both traditional and instrumental surveys of the area in order to produce archaeological maps and a GIS including the main mineral and hydrogeological resources, the ancient road-network, and distribution of ancient sites, finds and sources. The Institutions involved in the project are different, in order to guarantee as much views, technologies, approaches possible.
