Cypriot jug with white-painted decoration
A small clay jug with white decoration, dated to the Middle Cypriot period. The site has no Cypriot period scheme yet, so the jug appears in a list by source date.

Documented objects
A particular object, not a kind: every page here starts from a collection record, quotes its dating as worded, and separates what the record says from what can be inferred from it.
A kind of find describes a group: pottery, inscriptions, coins. An object is one item with a record number, a holder and a date as published by its source. Object pages keep three things apart: what you see, what the record says, and where the object is now. A field the source did not give stays empty.

Object
Bronze spearhead from Cyprus
A leaf-shaped blade with a pronounced midrib and a socket with two rivet holes. The record even describes the fabric impression left on the socket; what it lacks is a findspot.

Cypriot amphora with a Phoenician inscription
A Cypriot vessel, a Phoenician inscription and a findspot nobody recorded: one object that teaches us to separate what is written on it from where it came from.
