13.10.1 Rat-tanged dirk (sword blade used as a dagger or spearhead), with long thin blade, pointed at both ends, with sloping shoulders. A rib runs nearly the full length of the piece (flattened in the last 2 cm of the blade end). The middle of the rib, near the attachment end, is thin, rhomboidal in section, narrowing to pointed tip or tang which is turned up slightly at the end. Approximately 1/4 down the length of the blade the flange broadens, so that two flat sides spread from the centre rib. The blade end of the dirk has nearly straight sides, but tapers gently to a rounded tip. Catling's type 1d; near Åstrom's type I4. As Catling suggests (1964, 56) the rat-tailed weapon, the most characteristic of prehistoric Cypriote metal forms, occurs in so many sizes that it is impossible to classify them as swords, dirks, daggers, or even spearheads.
14.9.1 Deep bowl with slightly pinched in, uneven rim; wishbone handle; body tapers to flat base. Typical Late Middle II-Cypriot I shape (perhaps near carination suggests something earlier).
14.9.111 Thin loomweight, pierced with two holes of equal size, 0.5 cm apart, near the edge.

14.9.63 Ridge near outer edge on underside.
14.9.64 Rectangular with base of handle sticking out near top.
2003.6.19 Single fragment from near the attachment of a handle.
2008.7.35 Irregularly shaped rim fragment; fragment is narrowest up near the rim, then broadens down towards the shoulder, and has broken off near the transition from shoulder to body. Possible point where handle was attached
2008.7.42 Handle fragment from possibly near the base of handle
22.3.36 Fragment part of a pot, likely from the handle near the rim.
23.11.31RRRR Crested figure facing right holding a shield and a spear. The shield is decorated with a rosette and boss design, and a straight but separate element runs down from the left of the shield and across near the base.
47.10.3A-B Lid: tall, conical, flat-topped knob on a sharply sloping conical lid, with plain rim, vertical profile, flat underside, leading to a short flange (0.3) to sit within lekanis. Lekanis: slightly everted, rounded rim with flat lip, on a deep bowl with straight walls in two parts, separated by a sharp carination near the bottom, attached to a short disk foot, angled on inside and out, with a slightly convex underside. From either side of the rim extends a semicircular horizontal handle, round in section, that rises very slightly, flanked by short pointed spurs or lugs on either side of the handle.
48.5.2 Mouth has thin rim and near vertical walls tapering down to neck; two upside down U-shaped handles start mid-neck and curve upwards before joining the shoulder; inverted ovoid body; near conical foot with mirrored concave base.
49.1.2 A slim alabastron with a small mouth and a projecting rim, an offset neck, lugs on either side of the body near the neck, and a raised three-stepped foot that is slightly concave on the underside.
49.8.3 Very broad, up sloping rim; two handles start near the top of the body and curve vertically upwards; tall body with vertical sides curves down uninterrupted into stem; thick, flat foot with ridge at top; conical underside.
50.3.1 Flat rim; shallow mouth; broad neck; two handles curve upwards from near the bottom of the neck to the top of the body; small ridge between neck and shoulder; body tapers into broad, thick, flat base; underside concave.
51.1.4 Slightly everted lip with rounded rim, on a deep plate that is convex at the upper part and then curves, with a near carination to become concave in the lower part, on a flat base that is beveled on the outer part. A single suspension hole is on the lip.
51.7.7 Sessile kantharos, traditionally thought to be an imitation of the 'Saint-Valentin' class of ceramics (Beazley 1947, 219), although Robinson 1997 now says that it is derived from a metallic prototype. Quite standard among its class (Xenon Group kantharoi) in shape (and decoration). Rounded outturned rim, below which are attached two vertical strap handles, rejoined at a slight ledge between upper body and lower body; upper body near cylindrical, whereas lower body is a deep bowl; low flaring ring-foot, ridged on the exterior, with concave face on the interior continuously curving through the resting surface.
70.3.3 Ian McPhee describes it as a Kotyle rather than Skyphos type c (?). Tapering ring base, rounded at the bottom, from which the body rises in a sharp diagonal, curving sharply approximately at the halfway point, from which it rises near vertically and eventually flares slightly to a plain, rounded rim, just below which are attached two horse-shoe shaped handles, almost round in cross section.
71.6.3 Two thick, rounded, horizontal handles, one on each side just below rim. Broad body with near horizontal sides; torus ring foot

REDMG:1935.87.30 Mouth has a rim that slopes downwards. Concave sides with two small lug handles, each placed ca. 1.5 cm below rim ; carination and further concave element near flat base.
REDMG:1951.161.1 Overhanging everted lip with rounded rim curves sharply a near cylindrical body, narrowing to a tapering stem, which in turn is joined to a hollowed, moulded pedestal base;.the upper surface of the base is nearly flat, surrounded by a ridge and then a groove from which the nearly vertical sides descend; two incurving round horizontal handles are attached just above the middle of the body.
REDMG:1953.25.14 Trefoil mouth attached at the back to a high swung strap handle that reattaches near the bottom of the shoulder; short cylindrical neck with a ridge marking the join with the high-shouldered, squat, rounded body; broad, angled ring foot, slightly concave on underside. For large trefoil oinochoai see Corinth 13, 130-32 fig. 14
REDMG:1953.25.61 Moulded mouth, flares to tall rim, which narrows to a tall, cylindrical neck; neck curves gently into a sloping shoulder, grooved near the join to the body, which broadens slightly and then tapers, with slightly concave sides, to a slightly raised base, grooved on the resting surface, flat on the sunken underside.
REDMG:1958.19.1 Jug with tall narrow tapering neck, beak spout, and bulbous body. Vertical strap handle joins the base of the neck near the spout and a thrid where the neck and body are joined.
REDMG:2003.92.1 Squat rounded body that tapers towards a ring base. Single strap handle joins the long narrow and leaning neck near the thick rim and shoulder.
