Ancient Village or Settlement in Cyprus.An ancient city state with Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic elements. It is mentioned in the Odyssey as an area with copper mines. There are also Middle Bronze Age settlement, 3500-4000 years old, which preceded the city.
Center of the city is thought to lie directly under the modern village of Politiko. Excavations have focused on out lying areas, including fortifications and a cemetery. Note: location is for Politiko village.
Note: Cyprus Digs Reveal First Settlements May Be Older Than Thought.
