 Salamis, Cyprus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salamis was an ancient city-state on the east coast of Cyprus, at the mouth of the river Pedieos, 6 km North of Famagusta.
The copper ores of Cyprus made the island an essential node in the earliest trade networks, and Cyprus was a source of the orientalizing cultural traits of mainland Greece at the end of the Greek Dark Ages, examined by Walter Burkert in 1992.
This 11th century BC town was confined to a rather small area around the harbour but soon expanded westwards to occupy the area, which today is covered by forest.

 Findings this season in Area K
Area K is crucial to the current debate concerning the 10th century, as we have now reached the floors of Stratum VIA.
Stratum VIA is to be dated either to the 11th century (according to the prevailing chronology) or to the 10th century (according to the Low Chronology for the Iron Age strata).
From the absolute chronology point of view, this evidence seems to strengthen the possibility of dating it later than the 11th century BCE.

 Deconstructing the walls of Jericho / By Ze'ev Herzog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The school of biblical criticism that developed in Germany beginning in the second half of the 19th century, of which Julian Wellhausen was a leading figure, challenged the historicity of the Bible stories and claimed that biblical historiography was formulated, and in large measure actually "invented," during the Babylonian exile.
Despite the excavators' efforts, it emerged that in the late part of the 13th century BCE, at the end of the Late Bronze Age, which is the agreed period for the conquest, there were no cities in either tell, and of course no walls that could have been toppled.
These inscriptions, from the 8th century BCE, raise the possibility that monotheism, as a state religion, is actually an innovation of the period of the Kingdom of Judea, following the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel.

When state formation did occur, around the middle of the 11th century BCE, it can be argued, based on other historical examples, that it involved a process which increasingly excluded women from public and religious activities and introduced a stricter regulation of female sexuality.

 Ancient Scripts: Cypriot
While the earliest examples dating from as early as 1500 BCE cannot be read, comparisons clearly show that the Cypriot syllabary seemed to have derived from Linear A, and therefore is like a sibling to Linear B.
For this reason, sometimes the script at this very early stage is called Cypro-Minoan, to distinguish it from the Cypriot script used for writing Greek after the 12th century BCE.
Not surprisingly, the first readable text in the Cypriot script appeared in the 11th century BCE to write the name of the owner of a funerary object.

Architectural remains from the early Iron II were exposed in Field B (east side of the tell) where in previous seasons a paved approach ramp and the foundations of a small, outer gatehouse to the ancient city were found.
While it appears that the lower portion of the paved approach ramp continued to be used with this later gateway, the original, small outer gatehouse was replaced by a larger one, slightly to the south.

We cannot suppose that the Yin Li system as used in the 4th century BCE somehow incorporated a "standard time" convention used in the 11th century BCE, i.e., of dating the solstice two days late, when that system was applied to determining 11th century dates.
Three centuries later, Liu Xin had a piece of one, which he called the "Chunqiu Li." It didn't continue far enough for Liu to correlate it with known dates, so he was not able read off from it its intended absolute dates, and of course (using his own calculations) he got these wrong.
