Tombs guide – 31-40

Tomb 31

Contents: held in the Cyprus Museum
Materials/objects: two gold beads
Chronological range of objects: LC
Tomb type and status: probably chamber tomb presumably disturbed

Gold ‘Astarte’ pendant imported form the Levant (around 1550 BC-1100 BC). Catalogue number 32.8

Tomb 32

Contents: nine registered objects
Materials/objects: goldwork, stone bead, cylinder seal
Chronological range of objects: LCIB-III
Tomb type and status: probably chamber tomb, presumably disturbed
Additional information: additional gold, bronze and silver jewellery, fragments of Late Helladic pottery, ivories, faience bead and vessel fragment, stone pestle and vessel, additional Cypriot pottery sherds, including White Slip

Tomb 33

Contents: 12 registered objects, one (the scarab) is not entirely certain but likely
Materials/objects: terracottas, a nineteenth Dynasty scarab inscribed with the name of Thutmose III
Chronological range of objects: LC, Cypro-Archaic
Tomb type and status: probably chamber tomb, disturbed
Additional information: Late Cypriot goldwork, ivory, faience fragments, bronze mirror, four stone spindle-whorls. It is possible that not all the Cypro-Archaic objects were retained as the tomb is described as containing ‘many’ fragments and also limestone. The scarab was not in the register as belonging to tomb 33 but it is the only scarab with the name of Thutmose III that is not assigned to a tomb so has been accepted as likely. It is also likely that many of the objects were retained as all types in the above list are present in the database but their provenance was lost.
