Chlorakas Palloures
Research into the Middle and Late Chalcolithic of Cyprus
This Palloures Memory from the 2022 season is from Giulia, an Italian exchange student to Leiden University who worked in trench BG21 as well as lending a hand with the pottery processing. ![]()

In this slightly bonkers picture from our end-of-season talent show night, you can see Professor Bleda During acting as 'Professor Blendandore' in a rendition of 'Harry Potter-y'. Giulia was cast as Hermione Groundstone-ly, Vincent was Ron GIS-ly, and Maxence as Harry Potter-y... everyone was in fits of laughter at their performance! It was a great send off on the last night of the season after all the hard work was done.
Hello October! During this month we will be posting some personal highlights from the team of this years season. ![]()

My name is Georgie and I had the great fun of running the social media this year as well as being a trench supervisor of BG21. I had a wonderful team who worked so incredibly hard to open a trench from ground level, meaning our exciting finds came a little later in the season but were worth the wait! This was a large piece of pottery we found in a pot-spread about 4 weeks into the season, the excitement of this find was utterly contagious and we were all giddy for the rest of the day! ![]()

Don't forget to send in your favourite Palloures memory so we can share it across our social media 🙂
As we enter into the final week of September and the summer has quickly turned into colder, rainy days (at least here in the Netherlands!), we would love to hear from our community with any questions about our project or ancient Cypriot archaeology in general. Feel free to send us a message directly or to add a question under this post! ![]()

We were in the newspaper in Cyprus! The article is in Greek, and talks about our excavation in general as well as the finds from our last season...
We’re already missing these incredible early morning misty moments! Trench BC21 looking breathtaking a month ago during our dig season ⛅️
