Kition-Bamboula VII
Fouilles dans les nécropoles de Kition (2012-2014)
The necropoleis of ancient Kition (modern Larnaca) have been known since the 19th century: first explored in the search for antiquities, they have since been intensively excavated during rescue works, with limited use of stratigraphic and anthropological methods.

Première partie. La nécropole de Kition-Pervolia
Deuxième partie. La nécropole de Kition-Tourapi (fouille du département des Antiquités, 2012)
The necropoleis of ancient Kition (modern Larnaca) have been known since the 19th century: first explored in the search for antiquities, they have since been intensively excavated during rescue works, with limited use of stratigraphic and anthropological methods. In 2012‑2014, the French archaeological mission of Kition made systematic excavations in one of the Iron Age necropolis of the ancient city, located at Pervolia. The excavation was part of a research programme on the Iron Age urban topography. It led to a thorough study of the site (diachronic use of the space) as well as of the tombs (architecture, use history, funerary practices). The results of these excavations form the major part of the volume. The publication of material retrieved from tombs excavated in the past on the same site, as well as the publication of the results of rescue excavations made in 2012 in another necropolis of ancient Kition, at Tourapi, complete the volume.
Anna Cannavò, Sabine Fourrier and Alexandre Rabot edited the volume, in collaboration with Anna Satraki for the part on the Kition-Tourapi excavations. Contributions were written by specialists: Fabien Belhaoues, Rémi Corbineau, Nathalie Delhopital, Nathalia Denninger, Lluis Garcia Petit, Armelle Gardeisen, Anna Georgiadou, Evangéline Markou, Maria A. Socratous et Prisca Vareilles. The scientific archives of the excavations of the French mission at Kition-Pervolia are available on the open access web-portal chypre.mom.fr, designed by Bruno Morandière (MOM).
