The 2003 season had as its aim the examination of 53 trenches excavated in preparation for
a roofing project commissioned by the Cyprus Government to protect the remains of the socalled
Villa of Theseus and the House of Aion, uncovered in earlier Polish excavations.1) The
trial pits, 2 by 2 m and 1.5 m deep in principle, were excavated under the supervision of the
Department of Antiquities of Cyprus between January and August 2003. In 27 cases, the
trenches were extended because initial excavations had exposed structures prohibiting the use
of these locations under planned roof supports, but had left some hope that a suitable spot
could be found immediately nearby. During a study campaign in September 2003,2) the
Polish mission documented the trenches and examined the collected finds. The present report
presents the results and interpretation of this work. As no other publication of this data is
scheduled, it was deemed essential to discuss it in more detail than a preliminary report
normally admits.
