Bronze Age Politiko-Troullia seems to have been the predecessor of ancient Tamassos, the seat of a centrally important kingdom during the subsequent Iron Age.

Recent research uncovered the remains of deer carcasses indicating large-scale community feasting at Politiko-Troullia on Mesopotamian fallow deer, hunted in the nearby oak/pine woodlands.

It has also been determined Politiko – Troullia villagers mined local copper deposits, and conducted household copper metallurgy, including smelting and casting a variety of copper and bronze tools.

The settlement was likely abandoned due to substantial erosion and the lowering of neighbouring Kamaras Creek, after which the village well dried up.
