This is a very special episode today because I’m joined by an absolute legend in the field of archaeology: professor Colin Renfrew. Professor Renfrew’s achievements include many important excavations and discoveries from the Early Bronze Age and beyond. His work has changed the way we understand prehistory, and he’s raised awareness on the crisis of looting in order to help preserve humanity’s invaluable cultural heritage. He’s currently a Senior Fellow of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge. Professor Renfrew’s involvement with Keros stretches back to 1963, when he first discovered broken fragments of figurines lying about on the hillside on the western edge of the island. He’d been told about the looting that had already taken place on the island by his friend and fellow archaeologist Christos Doumas, but he didn’t expect to find so many broken objects left lying around on the hillside, likely discarded by looters in search of complete and therefore more lucrative objects. Between 2005-2008, new excavations lead by Colin Renfrew discovered an undisturbed deposit of fragments on the western edge of Keros. This deposit contained broken objects similar to the ones he’d intially found in 1963. Many questions were raised: why were the recent and undisturbed finds also found broken and why did the majority of these fragments not fit together? It was a riddle with a surprising resolution: apparently the fragments had been deliberately broken and brought to Keros to be deposited there during a kind of pilgrimag. Professor Renfrew believes that the breaking of the figurines and other goods were part of a ritual and that Keros was chosen as a sanctuary to preserve the effects. We began talking about those discoveries on Keros and the conversation flowed from there. We touched on a range of topics such as whether or not these prehistoric people worshipped a deity, the crisis of looting, and how through cognitive archaeology and the use of scientific method it’s possible to partially reconstruct the lives of people who existed thousands of years before our own time. Here’s the interview that took place between myself and professor Renfrew on November 10th, 2020. #archaeology #ancientcivilization #cycladic
