Sanctuaries and Cults in the Cyclades

The chronological scope of the project is restricted to the Geometric and Archaic periods, though the developments of the Classical era are largely taken into account, though not in a consistent manner. The Hellenistic and Roman periods have not been included in the compilation of the archaeological data, with the exception of late inscriptions which could refer to possible earlier cults.

The project has two main goals: The first is to assemble all the data related to the "internal" archaeology of the Cycladic sanctuaries. The second axis of the project aims in placing the Cycladic sanctuaries in context.
