The development of Pyrgos-Mavrorachi settlement in Cyprus (Early and Middle Bronze Age) was closely associated with environmental conditions. The village was founded at a strategic point of an elevation between the sea and the area rich in copper deposits. The purpose undertaken in this work was to assign the provenance of building stone materials. Investigations showed that the fossiliferous porous calcarenite was used as basic building material. In the lower parts ofsome buildings, crystalline rocks, mainly dolerites, were also used. Analysis of the samples revealed a particular structural similarity with rocks from a local outcrop (about 500 m west of Pyrgos-Mavrorachi site). It indicates that the building material came from the local area which belongs to the Circum Troodos Sedimentary Succession zone (Pakhna Formation).
