Other Comments

Primary QuestionsWas Phylakopi the only settlement site on Melos during most of the second millenium BC? If so, why? What accounted for its anomalous location in the northeast part of the island? How did its inhabitants exploit the surrounding landscape? How did that landscape change over time?
