Abstract:
This paper presents the LA-ICP-MS analysis results of 40 selected glass pieces from the early Christian basilica of Ayios Kononas in the Akamas area. The site enlarges our knowledge on the glass consumption pattern in Cyprus and demonstrates possible new insights on the connectivity of the island with the surrounding regions. The obtained data provide an added value to the already recognized connectivity with Egypt and the Levant. Additionally, Ayios Kononas embraces promising indications concerning a connection with western Anatolia.
