Abstract

The origins of copper-based metallurgy on the island of Cyprus, which became the main supplier of the metal in the Late Bronze Age in the Mediterranean and whose name became associated with the metal, is relatively obscure. While metal extraction and metal artefacts became increasingly important in the broader Near East, early metallurgy on Cyprus remains poorly known, and it is often postulated that metals were of limited importance on the island prior to the Philia phase. Here we present a unique context from the Late Chalcolithic (ca. 2800-2400 BC) from the excavations at Chlorakas- Palloures that has considerable ramifica-tions for this debate.

塞浦路斯铜石器时代的金属文物:来自西塞浦路斯的新数据

塞浦路斯岛在青铜时代晚期成为地中海地区铜的主要供应地，其名字也与铜联系在一起，但塞浦路斯岛铜冶金的起源却相对不为人知。虽然金属开采和金属人工制品在更广泛的近东地区变得越来越重要，但塞浦路斯的早期冶金术仍然鲜为人知，而且人们经常假设，在菲利亚阶段之前，金属在岛上的重要性有限。在这里，我们提供了一个独特的背景，来自于克拉卡斯-帕卢尔斯的挖掘，它来自于晚铜石器时代(约公元前2800-2400年)，对这个争论有相当大的影响。
