A Middle Bronze Age settlement (ca. 1900-1650 BC) in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, excavated by Cornell University between 1974 and 1985 under John E. Coleman. Eight probable rectangular multi-room houses with adjacent open areas were uncovered, representing some of the earliest rectangular architecture in Cyprus. Finds include cattle, deer, pig, and goat bones alongside ceramics that illuminate Bronze Age subsistence and the transition from Chalcolithic to Bronze Age society on the island.
