International audienceThis contribution concentrates on two series of archaeological discoveries pertaining to the history of Cyprus in the Classical period (5th and 4th centuries B.C.) that were recently published, as well as on the interpretation they raised. The first discovery was made at Kition. Three sarcophagi were found in a tomb. They were interpreted as documenting a gradual hellenizing process at work in the “Cypro-Phoenician” kingdom. The second discovery was made in the Amathous palace. Pebble layers were tentatively interpreted though the lens of mostly Greek parallels. We suggest to replace these discoveries (artefacts and traces of cultic practices) in their local Cypriot context.Deux publications récentes offrent l’occasion...
