Dramatic social and political change marks the period from the end
of the Late Bronze Age into the Iron Age (ca. 1300 700 BCE) across
the Mediterranean. Inland palatial centers of bureaucratic power
weakened or collapsed ca. 1200 BCE while entrepreneurial exchange
by sea survived and even expanded, becoming the Mediterranean-wide
network of Phoenician trade. At the heart of that system was
Kition, one of the largest harbor cities of ancient Cyprus. Earlier
research has suggested that Phoenician rule was established at
Kition after the abandonment of part of its Bronze Age settlement.
A reexamination of Kition s architecture, stratigraphy,
inscriptions, sculpture, and ceramics demonstrates that it was not
abandoned. This study emphasizes the placement and scale of images
and how they reveal the development of economic and social control
at Kition from its establishment in the thirteenth century BCE
until the development of a centralized form of government by the
Phoenicians, backed by the Assyrian king, in 707 BCE."
