Les restes humains de Klimonas

Résumé

The few human remains found at Klimonas (N = 13) come from various archaeological contexts and from several structures. The majority of them were found in first and second phases of the Communal building (Structure 10; Minimum Number of individuals (MNI = 2); others came from Sector B (MNI = 1). These are the oldest known in Cyprus. Only cranial remains are present. We cannot exclude that the human skull had a special significance at Klimonas but the data are too scarce to demonstrate this. All the human remains could also have come from disturbed burials and been brought into the buildings with the soil used for their construction or for that of the interior structures. These few observations raise questions about the burial practices of the first inhabitants of Cyprus and need to be completed by other discoveries.
