The sanctuary on Keros and the origins of Aegean ritual practice: the excavations of 2006–2008 Volume III, 2018
This is the third volume in the publications of the excavations on Keros in 2006-2008. Volume III... more This is the third volume in the publications of the excavations on Keros in 2006-2008.
Volume III describes in detail the marble finds from the Special Deposit South at Kavos on Keros, including both the numerous sculptures, mostly in fragmentary condition, and the stone vessels, again fragmentary, and generally of marble. The provenance of the marble is considered in detail. The excavation of the Special Deposits was described in Volume II, and the pottery will be published in Volume V. The second part of the volume offers a systematic discussion of the Special Deposits at Kavos in relation to the settlement at Dhaskalio, discussed in Volume I, seen in their Aegean perspective at the conclusion of the excavations in 2008. The sanctuary on Keros is recognised as a key site for the emergence of ritual practice in the Aegean.

These acts of devotion have now been accurately dated, thanks to Bayesian analyses of the contemporary stratigraphic sequence on the neighbouring islet of Dhaskalio. The period of use—from 2750 to 2300 cal BC—precedes any identified worship of gods in the Aegean and the site is among the earliest ritual destinations only accessible by sea. The authors offer some preliminary thoughts on the definition of these precocious acts of pilgrimage.
