Abstract :
The Cambridge Keros Project is directed by Colin
Renfrew with Olga Philaniotou as Associate Director,
Giorgos Gavalas and Neil Brodie as Assistant Directors,
and Michael Boyd as Niarchos Research Fellow. It is a
project of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological
Research of the University of Cambridge, with generous
support from INSTAP (Institute for Aegean Prehistory),
the Balzan Foundation, the Stavros S. Niarchos
Foundation, the British Academy, the Society of
Antiquaries of London, and the British School at Athens.
The Project is grateful to the British School at Athens and
its Director, Professor Cathy Morgan, for making
application to the Greek Archaeological Service for a
permit to excavate, and to Dr Marisa Marthari, Director of
the 21 st Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities,
for her encouragement and help in many ways.
Excavation work was conducted from Monday, 5 May to
Wednesday, 18 June 2008.
