Excavations were conducted from July 10 to August 10 under the direction of Andrew McCarthy, fellow, School of History, Classics and Archaeology, University of Edinburgh and lecturer, College of Southern Nevada.

The project involves the cooperation of an international team of specialists and field school students.
The site is located in the Dhiarizos Valley in Paphos district and is situated around a rocky outcrop that acts as one of the most important topographical features in the valley.

It seems to have been at a crossroads between the lowlands and the uplands and between the west of Cyprus and the rest of the island. Its location and the proximity of abundant natural resources led to the site’s extraordinary longevity, showing evidence for occupation from the Pre-pottery Neolithic until the modern day.

In the 11th excavation season at the site, four areas of the site were investigated exposing prehistoric remains from the Neolithic, Chalcolithic and the early and middle Bronze Ages.
