Neolithic village on an islet once part of a peninsula joining Paros and Antiparos in the Cyclades of the Aegean. The community that lived here c 4200-3700 BC lived largely by tunny fishing, although farming was also practiced. Tanged points of Melian obsidian were common, as was painted pottery, with white designs on a dark ground. Parian marble was used to produce stylized fiddle-shaped idols, ancestral to the better known figurines of the later Cycladic Bronze Age.
