to soc.history Ancient "Agamemnon" under thread: "Flints give Cyprus
oldest seafaring link in Med" presented new information from an
article of Michele Kambas.
"Fragments of stone implements believed to be up to 12,000 years old
have been found at two sites of Cyprus, suggesting roving mariners
used the areas as temporary camp sites after forays from what is
today Syria and Turkey.
The flints are unlike anything found in the geological make-up of
Cyprus, and more than 1,000 years older than the timing of the first
permanent settlers to the island."
It would of course be interesting to learn about your reaction on the
findings, but I have one question which crossed my mind: In which
areas around the Mediteranian does flint exist?
