Archaeological excavations at the site of Dhaskalio, led by Colin Renfrew and Michael Boyd of the McDonald Institute of the University of Cambridge, have completely transformed our understanding of what was previously seen as a Cycladic enigma. The currently uninhabited island of Keros, in the Cyclades Islands of Greece, was the site of the world’s earliest known maritime sanctuary, in use during the Early Bronze Age. It was also a thriving center of early metallurgy, including Bronze and other metals production. The site also provides voluminous evidence about major early developments in architecture.
