Global InformationMnemata Site information
The Mnemata Site is an archaeological excavation site at the Mnemata locality of Larnaca, Cyprus. A tomb was discovered in 1979—during the construction of a refugee settlement.
Built over the excavation site is now a supermarket.
The site is located on the city block east of the junction of Plateia Mitropoleos and Nikodimou Mylona Street.
The site has been referred to as Agios Georgios cemetery, in various interim reports.[1] (There are other institutions in the same city that are known as Agios Georgios. One is the Agios Georgios refugee settlement—the other is the cemetery on Agiou Georgiou Kontou Street. (An "Ancient Kition" text on a roadsign, points toward the cemetery on Agiou Georgiou Kontou Street.)
Other archaeological sites in its vicinity include the Pervolia Site, located north-east of Mnemata.[2]
