Summary
A significant expansion of the Eastern Necropolis in Nea Paphos, Cyprus, has been revealed through unpublished data from 1980s rescue excavations. This funerary landscape, crucial for understanding the island's capital during Hellenistic and Roman periods, shows complex tomb architecture and distribution patterns that hint at dynamic interactions with nearby necropolises and potential satellite habitation sites. The study reconstructs burial practices, offering new insights into the archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean.
