Before the first clear examples of urban centres of the Aegean emerge after 2200 BC in Crete, early forms of urbanisation are already presented in some archaeological sites. The most interesting such location is located on the island of Keros in the Cyclades, where during the period 2750-2300 BC, a unique combination of various factors foreshadows the urbanisation processes that will follow shortly afterwards in other areas. In particular, the factors found in Keros are: 1) centralism, 2) the exceptional scope, 3) the intensification, 4) the imposingness, 5) intense ritual element. The proposed research project aims to examine the social processes that took place in Keros during its 450 years of history. In particular, the study focuses on three axes. The first is organic residues, which will be examined in terms of intensifying and diversifying the means of living. The second relates to metalworking indications: melting, casting, and finishing metal objects. The third axis concerns architectural majesty. Keros’ architectural program was unprecedented for its time and was not surpassed until the time of the palaces of Crete. These three strands will be explored through a series of specialised approaches and the result will be the first comprehensive interdisciplinary investigation of the origins of urbanisation in the Aegean, with significant implications of the study worldwide.

Πριν εμφανιστούν τα πρώτα σαφή δείγματα αστικών κέντρων του Αιγαίου μετά το 2200 π.Χ. στην Κρήτη, πρώιμες μορφές αστικοποίησης παρουσιάζονται ήδη σε ορισμένες αρχαιολογικές θέσεις. Η πιο ενδιαφέρουσα τέτοια θέση εντοπίζεται στο νησί της Κέρου στις Κυκλάδες, όπου κατά την περίοδο 2750-2300 π.Χ., ένας μοναδικός συνδυασμός διαφόρων παραγόντων προαναγγέλλει τις διεργασίες αστικοποίησης που θα ακολουθήσουν λίγο αργότερα σε άλλες περιοχές. Συγκεκριμένα, οι παράγοντες που απαντώνται στην Κέρο είναι: 1) ο συγκεντρωτισμός, 2) η εξαιρετική εμβέλεια, 3) η εντατικοποίηση, 4) η επιβλητικότητα, 5) έντονο τελετουργικό στοιχείο. Το προτεινόμενο ερευνητικό πρόγραμμα έχει ως στόχο να εξετάσει τις κοινωνικές διεργασίες που έλαβαν χώρα στην Κέρο κατά τη διάρκεια των 450 ετών της ιστορίας της. Ειδικότερα, η μελέτη επικεντρώνεται σε τρεις άξονες. Ο πρώτος είναι τα οργανικά κατάλοιπα, τα οποία θα εξεταστούν ως προς την εντατικοποίηση και διαφοροποίηση των μέσων διαβίωσης. Ο δεύτερος αφορά στις ενδείξεις κατεργασίας μετάλλου: την τήξη, τη χύτευση, καθώς και την τελική επεξεργασία μεταλλικών αντικειμένων. Ο τρίτος άξονας αφορά στην αρχιτεκτονική επιβλητικότητα. Το αρχιτεκτονικό πρόγραμμα της Κέρου ήταν πρωτοφανές για την εποχή του και δεν υπερκεράστηκε ως την εποχή των ανακτόρων της Κρήτης. Τα τρία αυτά σκέλη θα διερευνηθούν μέσα από μια σειρά από εξειδικευμένες προσεγγίσεις και το αποτέλεσμα θα αποτελέσει την πρώτη ολοκληρωμένη διεπιστημονική διερεύνηση των απαρχών της αστικοποίησης στο Αιγαίο, με σημαντικές προεκτάσεις της μελέτης σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Το κυπριακό ερευνητικό πεδίο θα εμπλουτιστεί με προηγμένη μεθοδολογία και νέα τεχνογνωσία, ενώ θα δημιουργηθούν νέα δίκτυα συνεργασίας με τους πλέον καταξιωμένους διεθνείς επιστημονικούς κύκλους. Με πόλο αιχμής την αναγνωρισμένη εξειδίκευση και εμπειρία της συντονίστριας του προγράμματος και την δυναμική του Ινστιτούτου Κύπρου ως σύγχρονου ερευνητικού κέντρου υψηλότατων προδιαγραφών, το πρόγραμμα θα προσελκύσει διεθνές ενδιαφέρον μέσω τ (Greek)

Before the first clear examples of urban centres of the Aegean emerge after 2200 BC in Crete, early forms of urbanisation are already presented in some archaeological sites. The most interesting such location is located on the island of Keros in the Cyclades, where during the period 2750-2300 BC, a unique combination of various factors foreshadows the urbanisation processes that will follow shortly afterwards in other areas. In particular, the factors found in Keros are: 1) centralism, 2) the exceptional scope, 3) the intensification, 4) the imposingness, 5) intense ritual element. The proposed research project aims to examine the social processes that took place in Keros during its 450 years of history. In particular, the study focuses on three axes.
