摘要：

The note reconsiders the environmental setting of Aetokremnos, the controversial site of pre-Neolithic age on the island of Cyprus. Some 12,000 years ago when the sea level was lower, the site was not situated right on the coast in an island-like context as its excavators have claimed. Instead, it was located near the top of a tall cliff at the back of a wide coastal plain. At the time there were, in addition, actively forming dune fields just in front of the site. The discussion draws attention to three ambiguities in the previous interpretation of Aetokremnos and proposes that a new series of radiocarbon dates should be run on samples of bone in order to clarify the situation at the site.
