CBS News | Experts Prepare Excavation on Greek Island "Keros is one of the riddles of prehistoric archaeology," said Peggy Sotirakopoulou, curator of the Cycladic collection at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens. Currently inhabited by a goatherd and his flock, Keros lies near the eastern rim of the Cyclades island chain _ which includes the humming resorts of Mykonos and Santorini _ between the larger islands of Naxos and Amorgos. Keros was extensively pillaged during the 1950s and 1960s for its marble figurines, hundreds of which were illegally exported to fill museums and private collections in Europe, the United States, Australia and Japan. www.cbsnews.com /stories/2006/01/09/ap/tech/mainD8F1FFIO0.shtml   (656 words)

Redlist America Latina Keros are ceremonial beakers from the South Sierra region in Peru and northeastern Bolivia. The most ancient keros are decorated with carved geometrical patterns filled with a resinous paint in lively shades of red and yellow. Keros, which portray images issued from Andean mythology and thought presented in an Occidental fashion, are not only important for the study of Inca iconography but also for the understanding of the transition from the Inca period to the Spanish conquest. palimpsest.stanford.edu /icom/redlist/LatinAmerica/english/page15.htm   (515 words)

The "Keros Hoard": Myth or Reality? (Getty Bookstore) Keros, a small, now-deserted island in the southeast Cyclades, became well known in the 1950s and early 1960s after a series of clandestine excavations—concentrated on the site of Kavos—took place. These lootings resulted in the illegal export from Greece of a large number of Early Cycladic objects that flooded the international antiquities market under the general name "the Keros Hoard." The cache was said to have included at least 350 objects, now widely dispersed. Also included are comparisons of the fragments in the Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens, and those discovered at Kavos during official excavations; and the results of the laboratory analyses of samples taken from the fragments in the Museum of Cycladic Art and in the Getty Museum. www.getty.edu /bookstore/titles/keros.html   (179 words)

Last check: 2007-11-01) Only faint traces of pigmented resin remain in the incised designs of this pair of keros. Keros of this type depart from earlier colonial design formats.

rogueclassicism: Keros Sculptures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Recent discoveries on the island of Keros have shown that these enigmatic figurines, and the stone bowls made from the same marble, arguably by the same artists, were deposited in rituals equally puzzling. Looters moved in on Keros, and in the 1970s the “Keros Hoard” was cited as the origin of many unprovenanced pieces sold on the art market. The “Keros Enigma” was that, while many scholars felt that the looted pieces had come from an ancient cemetery, none had ever been discovered: one grave was known, together with settlement remains on the neighbouring islet of Daskalio. www.atrium-media.com /rogueclassicism/Posts/00004154.html   (569 words)

Stone Pages Archaeo News: Keros enigma cracked The problem with the site had been that it was disturbed by looters, who made a lucrative trade in the 1960s of the now famous minimalist Cycladic figurines. Moreover, the rarity of joining pieces (as well as the different degree of weathering of the fragments) makes clear that they were broken elsewhere and that they were brought, already in fragmentary form," says an announcement from the team of Greek and British archaeologists who head the dig. The puzzle of the broken fragments has come to be known as the 'Keros enigma'. www.stonepages.com /news/archives/001947.html   (448 words)
