The village of Stylli lies 7 miles north-west of Famagusta on the Mesaoria plain. East of the village along the road to Enkomi is a tomb field which the SCE began investigating in the autumn of 1930. SCE with Sjöqvist in charge began on the upper part of the plateau and thereafter dug some trial trenches in the southern slope. The then Crown Prince of Sweden, Gustav Adolf, took part in the excavation.
A total of 17 tombs were excavated. The dates of the graves range from Cypro-Geometric IIIA to Cypro-Archaic IIA, 900 – c. 500 B.C.. [Source: Translated from Marie-Louise Winbladh The sites of the Swedish Cyprus Expedition]
