Salamis is the easternmost of the ancient kingdoms of Cyprus; the earliest archaeological date from the eleventh century BCE (Late Bronze Age III).
The copper ores of Cyprus made the island an essential node in the earliest trade networks, and Cyprus was a source of the orientalizing cultural traits of mainland Greece at the end of the Greek Dark Ages, hypothesized by Walter Burkert in 1992.
Children's burials in Canaanite jars indicate a Phoenician presence.
A harbor and a cemetery from this period have been excavated.
The town is mentioned in Assyrian inscriptions as one of the kingdoms of Iadnana (Cyprus).
An Assyrian army reaches the Mediterranean shores in 877 BCE for the first time.
