The site of Dhaskalio Kavos, on the remote Cycladic island of
Keros, was extensively looted in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Investigations starting in1963 then revealed large quantities of
fractured marble bowls, broken marble figures and smashed pottery
of the Early Cycladic period from around 2500 BC. This report of
the subsequent survey and rescue excavations of 1987-88 reveals the
extraordinary richness of the site, now confirmed as one of the
most prolific in lite goods of the entire Aegean early bronze age.
Was it an unprecedentedly rich Early Cycladic cemetery, recently
wrecked by looters? Or was the damage deliberately produced during
early bronze age times in some procedure of ritual breakage and
ceremonial deposition? Here the survey of the site and the rescue
excavations undertaken within the looted area are documented in
detail, with a full account of the finds. Alternative explanations
for this extraordinary deposit are explored. What has been termed
'the Keros Enigma', in the light of the finds at the site, can now
be reconsidered with the full documentation which this volume
offers.
