Last Friday some of the Palloures 2023 team gathered in Leiden. It was great to see the team again (and strange everyone so clean and smart)

"Chlorakas-Palloures is a fascinating site! From the intriguing house abandonment practices to the whimsical figurative pendants, the Cypriot chalcolithic is such an exciting context to excavate. On top of this, the Palloures project has been exceptional in respect to the high degree they integrate students into the recording, modeling, and interpretation process. You are challenged and consequently develop important skills in archaeological methods. I am excited to see how the trenches opened this year contribute to our understanding of the Cypriot chalcolithic!” - Jack (first slide)![]()

“After spending half the day in the field, we head back to base for lunch. I then collect all the finds from the previous day, which have been washed and put out to dry. I bring the finds into the office and separate the find lots by find type: pottery, flint, groundstone… and label each of these types according to the trench and feature they were excavated from, using the trusty labelprinter and database :)” - Aiyana (second slide)![]()

Last week was the Palloures photo exhibit and presentation held at the Chlorakas community centre. We had an amazing time showcasing the site, our tremendous team members at work and some of our most interesting finds! Thank you to everyone who came and to all of those who showed their support and interest. We would like to give a special thank you to the community of Chlorakas for all of your hospitality and to all of our partners, without which none of what we do would be possible.![]()
