At the risk of getting back on thread on this interesting and informative post ... interesting to read that the site at Akrotiri provides the earliest evidence of human occupation cos I've been lead to believe it was Choirikitia or is Chirokitia the earliest in terms of a permanent settlement?

Good point Bill, hadn't picked up on that. Presumably there were a few of these small settlements. Maybe the permanence of the settlement is the important thing.

And at greater risk of encouraging revelations about personal preferences of bacon sandwiches over water .... The ancient water well discovered in Paphos, dated at possibly 10,500 years ago ... and requiring a great level of sophistication to construct, surely suggests there were many highly organised groups of people scattered all over most of Cyprus ...

This is just the beginning Oracle.

You will find that as more excavations and revelations occur, vital pieces of the jig saw puzzle will eventually prove that the Choirokitians were actually nomadic Paphians that settled in Choirokitia.

Rest assured that I am forever researching this very logical hypothesis.... ....but this of course does not explain GR's dismal IQ....

(Used to frequent an all-night transport cafe (a greasy spoon ) just to the north of London, England, and at risk of giving away my Neolithic tastes in diet, they did the fattiest, greasiest and hairiest bacon sarnies imaginable).

... But speaking of revelations, may be of value to consider that the Occupied North has been off-limits to archaeology for 35 years I wonder what revelations are to come from the better half of the Island?

Many mass graves have already been discovered. The UN committee on missing persons has been hard at work uncovering many Turkish war crimes against the Cypriot people.

My niece who is an 'Art Historian' whilst at the EMU has accompanied her Archaelogist colleageus from Cyprus and from all around the world in the Karpasia region and Famagusta areas.

boy oh boy I love bacon sandwiches

BCFWM can I suggest to you that you totally ignore any posts that criticise you personally, the poster gets the required response IF you reply in the negative, and therefore believes that he/she has done what they set out to do. Replying to a debate is good as other opinions are important, but so what if some stranger is targeting you, its they who have the sad lives not you. More importantly IF you ignore any rude or insensitive remark from any then you take out the need for reproach, therefore putting out the fire in the body of the OP. They then end up with nowhere to go and no-one to argue with and more and more have to start threads which very few are interested in or even get pulled as they are so negative towards others. I am guilty once or twice of rising to the bait but certainly don,t get hurt by it at all, trouble is its true that some wait by their 'putors to get a reply just so they can go off on one again, you will notice that minutes have passed sometimes only between negative replies.

Its a fact that some people hate others just for who they are, this is THEIR problem not anyone else,s, and getting a rise out of those they provoke is one of the reasons they get up in the morning Ignore and carry on believe me that will p**s em off much more.

Watch any response to this post by said member, she will find it difficult to ignore without an attack on where we originate from its her lifes work.

Do we care? No its all a bit of fun honestly


About the pigs thats interesting as we tried to find out todays breed of pig in Cyprus and could,nt but the pork is astoundingly good and the pigs must be astoundingly large The pork is the best meat we have ever come across, we try hard not to eat lots but sadly we give in to the desire

very well said, I couldnt agree more
