An island in the eastern Cyclades, Greece, which was prosperous in the Early Bronze Age and had three cities, Arcesine, Minoa, and Aegiale. There is an important cemetery on the island with single burials in cist graves, accompanied by copper weapons and pottery. Fine carved stone figurines of Early Cycladic type have also been found, usually made of marble and some being almost life-sized.

An island in the eastern Cyclades, Greece, known especially for its Early Bronze Age cemetery. Single burials in cist graves were accompanied by pottery, copper weapons and often by fine carved stone figurines of characteristic Early Cycladic type. These were usually made of marble and some were almost life-size, although most were about one third this size.
