This photo, released by the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, on Monday, Jan. 9, 2006, shows a group of smashed 4,500-year-old figurines from the Aegean Sea islet of Keros in the museum's collection. In April 2006, Greek and British archaeologists are to excavate on Keros in the hope of discovering why the tiny, arid islet once boasted the world's largest concentration of Cycladic marble artwork.

Great posting! I remember sailing by this island on one of my Aegean adventures...I was unconcerned about its past then.

I know that the looting that went on (and still does) has led to a large looted cache in private collection in Switzerland...at least it was there the last time I heard.

The ethical crisis in archaeloogy seems to be on everyone's mind...but little is being done to stop it.

I'll add Keros to my list of "places to get away from it all".
