Context (Analysis)
In an email on 13 June 2016, Thomas Kiely from the British Museum, noted that 1923.316 A-B are Bronze Age and 'Salamis' might mean 'Enkomi' to the west... I wonder if they and the others [items from Salamis, Cyprus] came from one of the Lawrence-Cesnola auctions in the 1880s, though I have speculated that Ransom got some things from the [Cyprus Exploration Fund] (perhaps as a private donor)'.
