Hala Sultan Tekke

Peter Fischer last month put out an excellent survey of an Alasiyan port, near the Hala Sultan Tekke aeroport in the non-Turkish side of the island. h/t Saraceni.

We learn this wasn't the Greek side of the island at the time. Around 1200 BC - about when the Hittites abandoned Hattusas - this port could trade only with Egypt and the Levant. I suppose Ugarit might have had trouble around then as well. Anyway: seems an embargo was in place against the Sea Peoples, possibly by Suppiluliama's order. If you're proposing that then you'd better plan to protect your property against non-trade bids.

Kition seems to have weathered the anarchy better so perhaps some survivors moved over there.

I don't know the language but I would guess at Etewo Cypriot. This isn't well preserved and I don't know that any of it is preserved from the Bronze Age. It may be that business was conducted in west-Semitic.

As chronology goes, the port is only really a thing from the 15th century BC on. That's long past longdisputed Thera so, Late Minoan IB and II. Late Helladic IIA is represented, expanding to IIB as the Greeks were taking Knossos. Perhaps when the Minoans were in full swing prior to that blowup, the ports were on the west of the island.

Associated with LH-IIIB, the pinnacle of Mycenaean civilisation, is Sardinian pottery. The Sherden! Fischer speculates that the Sherdens' import was likely not pottery (nor whatever was in the pots) but lumber.
