Maa Palaeokastro

Maa Palaeokastro was a Late Bronze Age settlement in southwest Cyprus, near the modern town of Pegeia [1]. The settlement was occupied by Ancient Greeks from the late 13th century BC to the middle of the 12th century BC [1]. It was located on a peninsula and fortified, suggesting that it had defensive functions [1]. Artifacts found indicate that metal-working and trade took place [1]. The settlement was abandoned as part of the Late Bronze Age collapse after a few generations of habitation [1].
