1. The reference to Bosanquet by Renfrew is from T.D. Atkinson et al., Excavations at Phylakopi in Melos, Macmillan, London, U.K. 1904.
Chapter VIII, 'The Obsidian Trade', pp. 216-233 was written by C.C. Bosanquet. On p. 229, footnote 4 we read: " ...; the other near Angathia in the southern horn of the island, discovered by myself in 1900, and dated by the presences of a marble 'idol.'". It is online here.
