* This article is the result of fieldwork on the island of Chryssi as part of my Ph.D. dissertation at the Ruprecht-Karls University in Heidelberg. I would like to thank V. Apostolakou, former director of the 24th Ephoreia, for allowing me to study the settlement patterns of Chryssi Island as part of the ongoing excavations there. I am also grateful to P.P. Betancourt, T. Brogan, and my advisors Diamantis Panagiotopoulos and Donald Haggis for their constant support and guidance throughout this project. Ariel Pearce-Chalikias, Doug Faulmann, and Nikos Chalikias helped tremendously during the survey of the island. Doug Faulmann and Gianluca Cantoro designed many of the maps and instructed me on how to use the DGPS.
