Paphos Life

I am still fascinated what they found in recent years at Tekke excavation. (Season 2016-2023), I did a lot of research and found these interesting photos from the Soederberg expedition, also gold items......

What a handicraft 15oo before Christ that is: gold-mounted steatite scarabs ...


Earrings of gold




pottery depot


tomb with several bodies


single one with items

Thanks Max

I've seen a couple of articles on this but hadn't seen any photos.

I wonder if the site will be open to the public one day?

As an aside, when is it considered socially acceptable to dig up old burial sites? There would be an outrage if people started digging up a modern graveyeard looking for trinkets, and rightly so. I wonder what the acceptable cut-off point is? 100 years? 1000?

I am not saying the old sites shouldn't be dug up. I am just curious as to whether there is a limit.

Very interesting pics,thanks Max.
