The Territorial Project, operational since 1988 and led by Prof. Oliva Menozzi, covers an extremely interesting area in the district of East Limassol, rich in ancient mineral, agricultural and woodland resources. The activities include excavation, archaeometric analysis, underwater reconnaissances, restoration, intensive survey, GIS, prospections. The sites found up to now were completely unknown. The project team works in collaboration with local institutions for the publication and construction of archaeological risk maps and GIS to counteract increasingly destructive urbanization.
