FAMAGUSTA, CYPRUS—The Famagusta Gazette reports that the top of an ancient column has been uncovered by construction workers at Ayia Thekla church on the eastern coast of Cyprus. The capital was reburied and the antiquities department was notified. Excavations are now being planned for the area around the church, which is being restored. It has been thought that ancient quarries may have been located near the site of the church. To read more about archaeology on the island, see "Bronze Age City Unearthed in Cyprus."
