Cyprus during the LCIIC, is analyzed in this
paper. The discussion centers on the pottery material from Pyla-Kokkinokremos, where several
examples of Pastoral Style kraters were found.
Imported Mycenaean pictorial kraters, discovered
at Pyla-Kokkinokremos, are also stylistically and
chronologically analyzed in order to clarify their
chronological connection to the former, as well as
the causative relationship between them. Emphasis is given to the chronology of the Pyla-Kokkinokremos settlement and the well-dated pottery in
the kraters’ contexts. The majority of the vessels
presented in this article come from recently excavated contexts. Some have been described in a
preliminary form elsewhere, while others have
never been published. Fragments found in older
excavations are also mentioned and given in a few
cases to supplement the newly excavated examples. The following chronological analysis of the
pottery is based on comparanda from other closed
stratigraphic contexts. Parallels from unstratified
contexts are solely used for stylistic comparison to
the Pyla vessels.

The ethnic mix of its material culture is also astonishing, with imports from Mycenaean Greece, Minoan Crete, Nuragic Sardinia, Hittite Anatolia, the Levant, and Egypt—a variety unparalleled at other contemporary Cypriot settlements. Since 2014, an international team consisting of members of the University of Ghent and Louvain in Belgium and of the Mediterranean Archaeological Society in Heraklion, Crete, has continued its exploration, concentrating on different areas of the 7-hectare hill. The aim of the new excavations is to obtain a better understanding of the social structure and internal organization of the site and of its importance for the continuing discussions on migration, interaction, and acculturation, which typify the late 13th and early 12th centuries BCE in the Eastern Mediterranean. The volume is a detailed but preliminary account of the first six excavation campaigns (2014–2019) with a presentation of the archaeological material found in the different sectors of the hill. It also includes the first analyses of the different ceramic categories encountered and a report on the topographical work executed.
