| "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. |
