Nea Paphos. Seasons 2012 and 2013

Excavations at the Hellenistic House in Nea Paphos, Cyprus, revealed significant architectural and artifactual evidence from the 2nd century AD. The site, which collapsed due to an earthquake, yielded oblong tumble blocks, including entablature fragments of the eastern peristyle and acroteria depicting Dioskouroi symbols. A cistern beneath the courtyard contained two successive well-heads, one of which had collapsed into it. Notably, the disturbed fill from the courtyard surface included a sling bullet mold with scorpion relief decoration and fragments of 'Nabatean' capitals featuring schematic volutes. These findings provide insights into the architectural style and craftsmanship of the period, as well as the functional use of the space.
