Aetokremnos

Cyprus

Aetokremnos is a rock shelter near Limassol on the southern coast of Cyprus. It is widely considered to host some of the oldest evidence of human habitation of Cyprus, dating to around 12,000 years ago. It is situated on a steep cliff site around 40 m (130 ft) above the Mediterranean Sea. The name means "Cliff of the eagles" in Greek. Around 40 m2 (430 sq ft) have been excavated and out of the four layers documented, the third is sterile.
