Saliagos

Saliagos (Greek: Σάλιαγκος) is an islet in the Greek island group of Cyclades. It is the first early farming site and one of the oldest settlements of the Cycladic culture. The settlement is dated to the middle to late Neolithic period. Radiocarbon dating has indicated a period from 5000 to 4500 BC.

The site was excavated during the years 1964-65 by John Davies Evans and Colin Renfrew from the British School at Athens.
