[01] Excavations in Limassol district revealed significant findings
and knowledge
Archeological excavations near Erimi village in Limassol revealed
significant knowledge and findings of the Bronze Age.
According to an announcement, issued by the Department of Antiquities
of the Ministry of Communications and Works, the 2013 fieldwork season
undertaken by the Italian Archaeological Mission (Università degli Studi
di Firenze) at the site of Erimi-Laonin tou Porakou has completed. This
year's excavations took place from 22 July to 20 August.
The Bronze Age site of Erimi-Laonin tou Porakou lies on a high plateau
on the eastern river bank of the Kouris, just on the border between
Ypsonas and Erimi villages of the Limassol District. The occupation
sequence of the site consists of two main phases. The first and most
significant one ranges from the Middle to the very beginning of the Late
Bronze Age period (EC III/MCI- LC I). Afterwards the site was frequented
only in the late-Hellenistic and Roman period, apparently following a
lengthy abandonment.
[02] Greek Deputy PM sees new momentum in Cyprus issue

Venizelos said on Sunday that through the proposals put forward by Cyprus

Venizelos discussed, inter alia, the Cyprus issue at a meeting with UN
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
In statements he made after the meeting and referring to the Cyprus
issue, Venizelos said that "we have a new momentum now because we have
very specific proposals of the Republic of Cyprus' President Nicos
Anastasiades".
