a complex network of streets and buildings, offering new insights into water management in the Early Bronze Age Cyclades.
Micromorphological and phytolith studies have provided valuable information on roofing form and construction techniques
(Gkouma et al. 2022). However, the use of flat roofs in combination with such an extensive water management system forces us
to address roof-water management. While no buildings are preserved to roof level, excavated evidence for the use of drainage
channels suggests how the overhead extension of the drainage system would work. In addition, the discovery of several pipe-like
terracotta cylinders in the roofing debris of one of the excavated buildings suggests a special case of roof drainage.
