Aghios Epiktitos Vrysi
archaeological site
Aghios Epiktitos Vrysi (also Ayios Epiktitos Vrysi, often shortened to Vrysi ), is an archaeological site in Cyprus that is located 9 km east of Kyrenia on a 9 to 10 m high cliff. This site was discovered between 3800 and 4400 BC and is the Ceramic Neolithic of the island. The site consists of at least 15 houses on an area of over 600 m2, with undercutting and subsequent demolitions that have continuously reduced the area. At the beginning, the size of the site was estimated to be more than half a hectare . In 1969-1973, Edgar J. Peltenburg was the head of the mining that was carried out there.
During the mining, some builders drove their dwellings down to a depth of 7 m, so that circular pits were created in the site, which had an average area of 14 m2. Very similar to those of Sotira. They placed fireplaces and raised berths, benches, and seats on the walls and places created. The same tasks were apparently performed over and over again. The village created was practically invisible from the sea and had a 5-meter-high wall, which separated the ledge from the coastal plain, and was covered by a ditch up to 7 m wide and 4.5 m deep.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Aghios Epiktitos Vrysi” as archaeological site. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as archaeological site. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25385141. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1969 and 1973.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
