  • Professor Colin Renfrew, Senior Research Fellow, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at Cambridge University, discusses recent excavations on the Cycladic island of Keros. These excavations have revealed the site of Dhaskalio Kavos as a place of numerous ritual offerings, dating to the Early Bronze Age (ca. 2500 BC). The quality and quantity of painted pottery, stone vessels, and marble sculptures, which were deliberately broken in the course of religious practice before systematically deposited here, provides fresh insight into Early Cycladic life and ritual. Sponsored by the Institute for Aegean Prehistory-INSTAP.

    Great lecture on an interesting subject and I appreciate that the slides were shown instead of a wide angle of the stage.

    I did a museum internship at the Cycladic Art Museum 2001. I saw a much newer artifact at the American Indian Museum Arizona that looked so much like the Cycladic Art figurines that the curator here contacted the curator at the museum of Cycladic Art.

    Dear Professor I would like to ease your confusion about the site
    It was joined to all the other islands around as were all the other islands of the Cyclades with Astipalea
    All was one body of land

      What glorious sarcasm you are so clever that 33 years of my life’s work has been ignored by geniuses like yourself because of course you are all so clever
      Get a piece of paper and a gown and the world waits with baited breath for your confusion and arrogance, and for the Professor to, what ,work out a solution, when I just gave him the solution

    Volume is low and one channel is completely gone (at least in the beginning)! I expect more from the Penn Museum, although this is an eight-year-old video.
