¹ The choice and definition of a ‘cultural’ or chronological system for the description of the Early Cycladic period is at present a matter of dispute amongst Aegean prehistorians; a dispute into which we do not propose to enter. As a matter of convenience only (and with no implication of preference) we attempt to classify the artefacts which we discuss according to the system EC I, EC II, EC III, MC, whilst admitting that in many cases certainty is impossible since the appropriate stratigraphy or proper description of associated pottery is either wholly missing or inadequately reported. With this in mind it seems adequate for our purposes roughly to equate the Grotta-Pelos phase with EC I, the Keros-Syros phase with EC II, and the Phylakopi I phase with EC III.

³¹ At the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age mining sites of Rudna Glava in Yugoslavia, Chinflón in Spain, and Timna in Israel only oxidized copper ores were mined, in each case principally malachite with some azurite and cuprite.

³⁴ Analyses of massive and euhedral cerussite given by Patterson (n. 27) show less than 3 ppm Ag, and are probably for cerussite from the leached zone of a weathered lead-silver deposit. In the oxidized zone, lower down, one might find secondary cerargyrite and native silver mixed with cerussite and anglesite. In Laureion the old miners speak of cerussite rich in silver whilst Conophagos, C., in Le Laurium antique (Athens, 1980) 160–7Google Scholar, records that Laureion cerussite in the oxidized zone contains 500–5000 ppm Ag.

³⁷ The first comprehensive description of smelting pyrite ores for gold and silver seems to be that given by Agricola, in De re Metallica (1556) [see pp. 399–401 in the translation by H. C., and Hoover, L. H. (Dover: New York, 1950)].Google Scholar See also n. 36 above. As far as the authors are aware it cannot be claimed that pyrites were smelted for precious metals before Roman or perhaps Classical Greek times. However gold certainly occurs in many places in northern Greece and might have been used in the Bronze Age.
