#idw #archaeology Tombs rich in artifacts discovered by #Swedish expedition in #Cyprus

An archaeological expedition from the University of Gothenburg recently discovered tombs outside the #BronzeAge trading metropolis #HalaSultanTekke in Cyprus. They rank among the richest ever found in the #Mediterranean region. The precious tomb artefacts indicate that their occupants ruled the city, which was a centre for the #copper trade in the period 1500–1300 BCE. https://idw-online.de/en/news818857
