Paphos Ethnographic Museum
Doukani
According to this sign, it is part of a Doukani. I had no idea what that is so I googled it. Unfortunately, the name is also used by an online B2B marketplace in the UAE. So the results were polluted somewhat. However, searching "doukani tool cyprus" gave more information: "Doukani is used for thrashing barley. It was driven by oaks or mules."
I think they meant oxen or mules, but you get the idea.
Cart
There was a nice cart here too. I imagine it would have been a rather bumpy ride though.
Traditional Cultivation Methods In Cyprus
There are a number of signs like this throughout the museum.
Anyway, let's carry on exploring...
Multiple Finds
The next room seemed to contain a veritable jigsaw of pieces of broken crockery. They must find lots of this sort of item on their archaeological digs. There's only a certain amount of it you can store for historical purposes. If you walk around the slopes of Agios Georgios Harbour, away from the main drag, you will see lots of smaller bits of pottery like this.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
