During the excavations carried out by SALA in the area of Tzamouda within the framework of the Major Flood Control Project of Limassol city centre, an ancient tomb was discovered on 21 July 2023. The response of the Department of Antiquities was immediate and the excavation started immediately after its discovery thanks to the coordinated efforts and cooperation of the SAA and the Department of Antiquities.
According to the information provided by the Department of Antiquities, it is an ancient tomb of the Late Bronze Age (17th-11th century BC) which was located in an area whose archaeological significance has been known for decades. According to the Department of Antiquities, these finds add to scientific knowledge and help to better understand the prehistoric community that would have been active in the area.
The discovery of antiquities in the area of Jamuda was something that was foreseen by SALA and the Department of Antiquities from the planning stage of the project. For this purpose, the presence of an archaeologist is continuous in order to both protect the antiquities and to ensure the uninterrupted continuation of the construction works in case archaeological finds are identified.
SALA and the Department of Antiquities are working closely to ensure that excavations proceed at a rapid pace, adhering to all scientific protocols and health and safety issues that arise - particularly in the midst of aggravated climatic conditions - so that the flow of traffic to the site is restored as soon as possible and any delays in the completion of the project are minimized.
