Aghios Epiktitos Vrysi, is an archaeological site in Cyprus that is located 9 km east of Kyrenia on a 9 to 10 m high cliff [1]. The site consists of at least 15 houses on an area of over 600 m2, with undercutting and subsequent demolitions that have continuously reduced the area [1]. The unusual density of the sheep and goat population as well as a considerable number of different awls and needles testify to a developed textile processing, the products of which were apparently traded and bartered outside the village [1]. Obsidian was evidently still in use, but, unlike in earlier times, it had become extremely rare in Cyprus [1]. Only one piece was found in Vrysi [1].
