Tenta

Tenta, also known as Kalavasos-Tenta or Tenda, is an Aceramic Neolithic settlement in Cyprus which dates to approximately 7000 B.C. Located 3.2km north of Kalavasos in the Larnaca District, Porphyrios Dikaios first discovered the site in 1940 and first excavated it in 1947. Five further seasons of excavation by a team from Brandeis University occurred from 1976 to 1984, which was part of the Vasilikos Valley Project. The major aim of the project was the recovery of data from settlements surrounding the Vasilikos Valley. Tenta is now a visited archaeological landmark covered by a cone-shaped protective shelter. ()
