The whole area we were standing in had in the recent past (2011) been excavated. This shot (from the souskiou.com site) show field workers sifting through rubble looking for artifacts.

Finally, we are seeing evidence of something other than a grave or an old walkway. The curves in those rocks are there for a reason. Note also, that there is another bit of tarpaulin here for some reason.

I wonder if this area is what the website referred to?

The eroded remnants of a workshop were located on the West Ridge. Here we found a dense concentration of wasters, including unaltered raw material, chips and partly worked objects together with chipped stone that may have been used as tools in the preparation of roughouts. Nearby were partly finished figurines. For the first time we have detailed evidence for the manufacture of the celebrated figurines that occur so frequently in the surrounding cemeteries and the many Chalcolithic sites of Cyprus. Souskiou settlement seems to have been a special centre for the manufacture of these figurines and other body ornaments for display, especially in funerary rituals.

And here we find ourselves at the settlement! You can see where modern archaeologists have been digging.

This is the same area, back in 2011. It looked a lot neater then.
