Abstract
Bu makalede, Kıbrıs'ın kuzeyinde yer alan Klepini-Troulli yerleşimi, eski kazı sonuçları ve 2004 yılında yapılan yüzey araştırmasından elde edilen yeni veriler doğrultusunda yeniden değerlendirilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda yerleşme, hem ada içindeki kronoloji hem de çevre anakara kronolojisi ile kültürel olarak bağdaştırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Buna bağlı olarak Kıbrıs'ın Son Neolitik Dönem'de anakaradaki baskın kültürün bir parçası olup olamayacağı yoksa bağımsız gelişen bir kültür olup olmadığı tartışılmaktadır.

Abstract
In this article, the Klepini-Troulli settlement located in the north of Cyprus has been re-evaluated with the results of the old excavations and the new data obtained from the survey conducted in 2004, and it has been tried to be reconciled with culturally both the chronology within the island and the surrounding mainland. Accordingly, it has been discussed whether Cyprus could be a part of the dominant culture on the mainland during the Late Neolithic Period or whether it was an independently developing culture.
