Skouriotissa mining and slag landscape
Also known as: Skouriotissa, Phoukasa
Long-lived ore and slag landscape in the Solea region with ancient workings and extensive later disturbance.

Research description
Skouriotissa is a major copper-mining landscape whose ancient remains have been altered by long-term and modern exploitation. Late Bronze Age use is evaluated through dated slag, regional comparison, and lead-isotope models rather than a single intact mine plan.
Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Copper-production node
Direct evidence for one or more stages of copper production.
Why does this record have this property?
Ore bodies, ancient workings, and slag identify a long-lived metallurgical landscape, though Late Bronze phases are not uniformly dated.
