Early remains of human habitation during Aceramic Neolithic period Kalavasos Tenta, a Neolithic village (8000-5000 BCE) in Cyprus, actually has a large tent over it protecting the site. But that’s not how the area earned its name. According to local legend, Helena, Constantine the Great’s mother, pitched her tent here in AD 327 after her return from Jerusalem. She apparently brought with her the actual cross of Jesus’ crucifixion. But more to the point, the site gives us insight into early human habitation during the Neolithic period. The village likely had approximately 150 people during this period. Note the round structure of the homes of the homes built into a hillside. This design was more effective for heating and cooling. Also note the close proximity of these tiny dwellings. There really was no such thing as privacy back then.
