Cyprus dig reveals key trading hub in antiquity
A Swedish-led excavation on Cyprus has unearthed a wealth of artefacts suggesting an ancient port city in Larnaca on the south coast was the region's key Bronze Age trading post, an official said Wednesday."The city's wealth seems to have been based on the production of copper and trade with near and distant cultures," said Giorgos Georgiou, acting director of Cyprus' Antiquities Department.
