		Cities were rebuilt on a rectangular grid plan, like Enkomi, where the town gates now correspond to the grid axes and numerous grand buildings front the street system or newly founded.
		Ugaritic texts from Ras Shamra and Enkomi mention Ya, the Assyrian name of Cyprus, that thus seems to have been in use already in the late Bronze Age.
		Some authors believe that late Bronze age Cyprus was a part of the Hittite Empire under the name of Alasiya, but up to now, no written confirmation of this has been found, and Anatolian and Hittite finds are extremely rare at this period.

		Enkomi was an important city in Late Bronze Age Cyprus that saw particular prosperity between about 1300 and 1100 BC.
		With its natural harbour (silting has now caused a change in the coastline), it was one of the coastal emporia or trading stations of the island, and was perhaps a centre for the export of copper, one of Cyprus' prime assets.
		At Enkomi, the houses had several rooms which were grouped around a central courtyard and there was an elaborate drainage system.

		Enkomi was founded in the Middle Bronze Age (ca 1900 BC to 1600 BC) but reached its zenith during the Late Bronze Age, when it was possibly the main center of the copper smelting industry on the island.
		Enkomi may be the site of ancient Alaysia, at least one of the early excavators (Shaeffer) thought so.
		Sometime around the beginning of the 13th century BC, a massive destruction occurred at Enkomi, and the city was rebuilt on a larger scale, according to a clear plan.

		As early as the 17th century BC a small community of farmers established a settlement behind the rocky plateau west of the modern village of Enkomi, not far from the coast on the north bank of the Pedieos river.
		The copper trade enriched the merchants of Enkomi as is evidenced by the rich tomb gifts which accompanied the burials: exquisite Mycenaean vases decorated with chariots, bulls, birds and other motifs, exotic goods such as faience and alabaster vases, scarabs, ostrich eggs, jewellery of gold and silver.
		The cemetery of Salamis covers a large area from the western limits of the forest to the Monastery of St. Barnabas to the west, to the outskirts of the village of Ayios Serghios to the north, and to the outskirts of Enkomi village to the south.

	"The Scandal of Enkomi"
		The ivories of the Enkomi tombs are very similar to those found by Layard in the palace of Nimroud, the ancient capital of Assyria.
		Bronze fibulae, too, were found in the Enkomi tombs, as well as a large tripod “with spiral patterns resembling one in Athens, which is assigned to the Dipylon period,” and a pair of scales of a balance like the one figured on the Arkesilaos vase.
		Thus, in effect the excavator of Enkomi is accused of having been unable to distinguish burials of different ages in a grave.

		The Sea People invaders often destroyed Late Bronze Age settlements on Cyprus such as at Enkomi and Kition (called Larnaca today, but the old name may also be the source of the biblical Kittim; see Achtemeier 1985, 532-33), only to rebuild them utilizing ashlar block construction in part.
		The rebuilt defensive wall at Maa as well as other walls at Kition, Sinda, and Enkomi are sometimes called "Cyclopean," because they call to mind the great boulder walls in the Peloponnese at Mycenae and Tiryns.
		At the end of the thirteenth and the beginning of the twelfth centuries more Sea People settlers arrived, this time Achaeans from the Peloponnese or from the islands off western Anatolia, according to Dr. Karageorghis, and one of their distinguishing features was their Mycenaean IIIC:1b pottery, made locally.

		Assigning Enkomi a preeminent place in the development of Bronze Age Cyprus is tenuous, but there is nothing in the current library of archaeological evidence to denounce such speculation.
		Level IIB represents the point at which Enkomi experienced an economic boom and experimented with metallurgy, as is evidenced by tomb finds during that period (Karageorghis, 1990).
		The cyclopean construction…[of the fortification walls] is paralleled in Cyprus in the LCIIIC fortifications at Enkomi and Sinda and the LCIIIA fortification wall at Kition.

		The antique city of Enkomi, also known as Alasia, situated close to the present day Enkomi (Tuzla) village, dates back to the 2000s B.
		The excavations have revealed that the city was under the influence of Egypt first, and Mycenae later, and that it was surrounded with walls, and the dead were buried under the floors of the houses with their death presents.
		The region was abandoned never to be used again, when the Pedios River (Kanlidere) flowing by the city filled the harbour with alluvion, the earthquakes affected the place negatively and the Akas started posing a continuous threat after the 12th century.

		order of time came the objects of gold and silver plate found by the expedition of the British Museum at Enkomi in Cyprus, which perhaps represent a somewhat later phase of Minoan art, but certainly cannot now any longer be regarded as belonging to the very late period to which they were at first assigned.
		One silver vase found at Enkomi is of the " Vaphio " shape, which first appears in Cretan pottery as early as the Middle Minoan period, contemporary with the Xllth Egyptian Dynasty (c.

		The now famous white dotted lines of the vases of Enkomi are also found on examples from Caere in Etruria signed by the Greek potter Aristothenes, and which cannot be older than the 7th century BC.
		This same pattern of white dotted lines is again seen on a pinax (vase) from Cameiros on the island of Rhodes which is now in the British Museum.

		Cypriot bronze metalwork improved considerably, with the appearance of agricultural tools such as shovels, hoes, picks, ploughshares, pruning hooks; carpenters tools such as axes, adzes, awls, chisels, drills, and saws; and smithing tools, tongs and sledgehammers.
		In Enkomi from this time there is the sanctuary of the Ingot god, found in a stratum surrounded by cult vessels.
		He is known as the Ingot God of Enkomi and rules over the Bronze Age.

		Furthermore, the spatial association between metallurgical installations and "religious" structures at the Cypriote sites such as Kition, Enkomi, and Athienou has helped to canonize the archaeological and historical notion of religious domination over Bronze Age Cypriote copper production.
		Discussions of these spatial relationships, however, have yet to produce any clear understanding of the politico-economic organization of the copper industry, nor have they helped to identify the authorities who regulated that industry.
		The attempt is made to place the discussion into the context of the Late Bronze Age collapse in the eastern Mediterranean.

		When an UNESCO representative visited the Museum a few years after the invasion he noticed that the showcases, which had contained small valuable objects, were empty.
		The oldest traces of settlements in an area found near the modern town of Famagusta, Enkomi, go back to the 13th century B.C., the Bronze Age.
		At the start of the Iron Age the town, now built close to the sea, was known by the name of Salamis and its kings traced their ancestry to the Trojan hero Teucer, brother of Ajax and son of the king of Salamis, an island off the coast of Athens.

	Ugarit
		The first group of vaulted tombs (at Enkomi) corresponds closely in date and style to the Ugaritic tombs, and the type is thought to have come from Syria to Cyprus.
		More important than the 250-year period when no tombs were built in Syria or Cyprus to connect the later tombs to the earlier ones, is the fact that the earliest tombs of each group (i.e., those of 1550 and 950 B.C.), separated by 600 years, are most similar.
		The Cypriote vaulted tombs from 950-600 B.C. seem to undergo the same development as the Enkomi and Ugaritic tombs with 600 years separating the corresponding phases.

		While it is the general assumption of scholars that the two were universal equivalents, there is no concrete evidence for such an interpretation Enkomi, an LBA site, has been used to support the idea that Cyprus entered an early form of statehood beginning in the LBA.
		The supposedly large extent of the settlement, the wealth of its archaeological remains, and its metallurgical facilities are said to suggest that it was the capital of Alashiya.
		All such settlements were located along the coast of the island and present a discrepancy in comparison to the smaller, seemingly less wealthy inland LBA sites.

		He, further noticed the occurence of similar storage jars found in the "Ingot Temple" at Enkomi of a 'secure 12th century BCE' context and also found in Qasile Strata XII-X. However, there is a "but" to be clarified: Mazar's reconstructed globular form of the jar is not similar to that as depicted above.

		By the Late Bronze Age (or Late Cypriot), Cyprus was fully integrated into a far-flung network connecting the Aegean, Egypt, and Syria-Palestine.
		Sustained by copper wealth and the island's convenient juxtaposition between the Near East and Aegean, fortified cities flourished at Enkomi, Hala Sultan Tekke, Kition, as well as other locations.
		"Alashiya" (meaning the island generally or Enkomi specifically) figures prominently in cuneiform texts found at Ugarit on the Syrian coast and at El Amarna in Egypt.

		Major sites like Enkomi appear, using Mycenaean-style pottery and building in a style of ashlar masonry very like what we find in Greece before 1200.
		Recent work has shown that in fact the pottery and architectural styles both have antecedents in Cyprus itself before 1200, but this doesn't do much to weaken the theory of migrations.
		This is a carved ivory mirror handle, again from Enkomi, showing a far higher level of craftsmanship than anything from the mainland in the twelfth century; and this is a remarkable gold and enamel scepter from a tomb at Kourion.

		By the Late Bronze (or Late Cypriot) Cyprus was fully integrated into a far-flung exchange network connecting the Aegean, Egypt and Syria-Palestine.
		Sustained by wealth generated through the export of copper and the island's convenient juxtaposition between the Near East and Aegean, fortified cities flourished at Enkomi, Hala Sultan Tekke, Kition, and Episkopi Bamboula; with major unfortified commercial settlements at Maroni Vournes, Morphou Tomba Tou Skourou, Kalavassos Ayios Dhimitrios and Alassa.
		The kingdom of "Alashiya" (almost certainly meaning the island of Cyprus) figures prominently in cuneiform texts found at Ugarit on the Syrian coast and at El Amarna in Middle Egypt.
