Prehistoric Bronze Age

The Prehistoric Bronze Age on Cyprus encompases the Early and Middle Bronze Age (EBA/MBA) or Early and Middle Cypriot (EC/MC) periods. The most ubiquitous ware is known as Red Polished. There is also a ware/period called Philia which is often regarded as being controversial. Sites include Episkopi Bamboula, Marki Alonia, Philia Drakos, Sotira Kaminoudhia and Vounous.
