TYPE

1.    Cem.   Simpson and Dickinson [1979], 323    'A cemetery reported here on the E coast of Antiparos was not visible in 1963; it might have been the richer of Bent's two cemeteries, which apparently produced finds of KS type, ... '

NOTE

1. Simpson and Dickinson [1979] 323 allude to Bent: " ...; it might have been the richer of Bent's two cemeteries, ... ". Bent's article is 'Researches Among the Cyclades', Journal of Hellenic Studies (5), pp. 42-59. 1884, esp. p. 49.

Bent says "In the graves in the cemetery to the south-east of the island, I found only one body in each, they were considerably larger and better built; some of them had graves beneath, and in every case a slab or pillow on which the head was rested." Find it here. The poorer graveyard (see C7134 in this atlas) is described at the same website on pp. 47-8.
