Background: The site has been subject to archaeological excavations for nearly a century, but LRA1 production was first suggested by Empereur and Picon, who described a workshop outside the city (1989: 242). David Williams petrographically analyzed several LRA1 samples from Kourion and argued that they represented the local Kourion fabric, and that it can be distinguished from Cilician or northern Syrian fabrics (2005a: 166–167).
Location: Unknown—Empereur and Picon report that the workshop was “a few kilometers (km) west of the city,” but nothing has been excavated (1989: 242).
Number of kilns: Unknown
Period of activity: Unknown
Description of the facilities: Unknown
Typology: Unknown
Local fabric: “A hard, rough, sandy fabric, pinkish-white in colour (5YR 8/2). Small to medium-sized pieces of white limestone, or sometimes voids with reaction rims, are scattered throughout the fabric, together with some small quartz, serpentine and dark-coloured ferromagnesian minerals” (Williams 2005: 166).
