註釋Until the excavation of the important maritime settlement at Saliagos near Antiparos, nothing was known of the Neolithic period in the Cycladic Islands of Greece. The discovery and excavation of Saliagos fills a major gap in the prehistory of southern Europe, and resolves several problems in the development of European prehistory. In this work, the final and definitive publication of the excavations, the finds made are presented in detail, and fully illustrated. For the first time the full repertoire of finds from an Aegean Neolithic site, treated on a quantitative basis, are made available to prehistorians and to the public. The environment of the settlement has been the subject of a number of scientific studies, and these are presented as Appendices, to which a dozen specialists in various fields have contributed. In particular, the diet of the prehistoric inhabitants is treated in considerable detail; and for the first time in Greece, data on the fish and the shellfish eaten, as well as on the cereal grain and the animals are presented. Out of these hard scientific data from Neolithic Saliagos, there emerges a fascinating picture of subsistence and life in a simple Aegean farming and fishing village of around 4000 b.c. -- Publisher description.
