Kalavasos-Tenta


Tenta, also known as Kalavasos-Tenta, is a neolithic settlement in Cyprus, 4 km south of Kalavasos in the Larnaca District. It was discovered in 1947 by Porphyrios Dikaios.

It became a settlement in the New Stone Age.

It was excavated by a team from the Brandeis University from 1976 to 1984—under Ian Todd's leadership. Excavations were carried out each summer from 1976 though 1979, and a final summer season took place in 1984. The excavations were funded for the first four seasons by the National Science Foundation (USA).
