After two weeks of exploring Kythnos, I’ve become very fond of this little island in the middle of the Aegean!
From beautiful beaches to friendly villages, Kythnos has a lot to offer. Let’s explore its history with a #thread of some amazing sites!

2/ The history of Kythnos begins on this little promontory, over 10,000 years ago!
Excavations here at Maroulas have revealed one of the only Mesolithic settlements in the Aegean, some of the earliest human activity in the whole region!

3/ The dwellings, burials, ancient garbage found at Maroulas tell us that the earliest inhabitants of the island lived well on the island, eating plenty of fresh fish!
Taking a walk around the site today reveals plenty of obsidian & quartz for tool production.

What is the #archaeology like on all these tiny islands in the Aegean?

2/ Today, we’re boating out of Panagia Kanala on Kythnos to visit the island of Piperi, 9km to the southeast.
From afar, the Piperi seems like a steep rock sticking out of the sea, w/ little vegetation, water, or evidence of human activity. I’m sure we’ll find something, though!

3/ Every day on #SCIP2021 begins with a ride like this! We throw all of our equipment in dry bags and hop on a RIB for what must be the best commute in the world!
We have wonderful boating weather this morning, but it might get hot out there when we’re surveying!
