that there is clear influence shown, whether produced by the settling of Anatolian migrants or by trade that occurred between the two areas. Evidence of Influence in Cypriot Environment In Pyrgos, there is evidence of Anatolian influence on several amphorae that were found in tombs of the settlement. In Tomb XVI, a Red Polished amphora shows an Anatolian idol in relief that is similar to a vase from Kosk Hoyuk in the Early Bronze Age. In Tomb XXI, another amphora with horned horizontal handles and a biconical body shows a relationship to a Beycesultan pattern in Level XIV of the Early Bronze Age II. Also, several bronze tools show similarities to those found in Kusura in Anatolia (Belgiorno, 1995). There are also several vases that have human faces on them (Belgiorno, 1995; Kouka, 2011). These humans are similar to metal figurines in Troy II, Alaca Hoyuk, Horoztepe, and Hasnoglan and disc-faced figurines in western and central Anatolia (Kouka, 2011). One of the most probable transmissions of Anatolian culture to Cyprus is the production of Red Polished Ware. The red bowls, vessels, and pottery of Anatolian-inspired design became present in Cyprus during the third millennium B.C.E. This is due either to contact occurring between the two regions over an extended period of time or because of comingling of populations on the island over an extended period of time (Kouka, 2011). The favored opinion is habitation of Anatolians on Cyprus. Various earrings have been found in Tomb VI at Sotira (electrum), Kissonerga (bronze), and Tomb VI of Marki-Davari (bronze) that are similar in design to those at Troy II (Kouka, 2011; Swiny, 2003). The influence of the immigrants did not only exist in the formation of artifacts such as grave goods and domestic figurines, but also in the economic and architectural developments of the time period. The importation of cattle from the mainland with the migrants resulted in the
