Skarkos, Greece.
Skarkos is an early Bronze Age settlement on the island of Ios. Owing to its well preserved state, Skarkos is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the Aegean and especially the Cyclades.
Skarkos provided archaeologists with important information and significant evidence on how societies were organized in Cyclades during this period. It was built in a circular shape and on a high altitude so that its residents could overlook the port and the sea.
The village had a very well-organized street planning with squares and two storey buildings with stone-paved floors, fenced patios and defensive walls. Excavations discovered stamps and engraved symbols which show that people used them to declare their identity, as well as evidence of drainage system and cemetery. Furthermore, findings showed that the settlement probably had commercial transactions with neighbouring islands such as Milos and Santorini but also the mainland.

Antikythera Ephebe (Antikythera Youth)
Date: 340—330 B.C.
Athens, National Archaeological Museum
The Ephebe does not correspond to any familiar iconographic model, and there are no known copies of it. He held a spherical object in his right hand, and possibly may have represented Paris presenting the Apple of Discord to Aphrodite, however, since Paris is consistently depicted with a Phrygian cap, other scholars believe it's a beardless, youthful Heracles with the Apple of the Hesperides. It has also been suggested that it is a depiction of Perseus holding the head of the slain Gorgon. It could also be the God Apollo, a "Learned" Hermes holding a caduceus, an athlete holding some sort of prize, etc. The statue could even be the funerary statue of a young man.
The statue is perhaps the work of the famous Greek sculptor Euphranor of Corinth.
