The excavations at the site of Souskiou Laona brought to light a small number of metal artefacts and faience beads (for additional discussion of the faience beads, see Chap. 12). These form two distinct but related assemblages, as will be made clear below. They have raised interesting questions and at the same time provided important insights regarding the level of pyrotechnology available at the time on the island and/or beyond, especially as one should consider/cannot exclude the possibility that some or even all of these artefacts may have been imported.
