I think probably the first paper I published on that sort of area was - arose from my work in Crete in the Cyclades, and when I went to look up Cycladic connections in Crete, when I went to the Heraklion Museum, I knocked on the door of Dr Alexiou whom I'd already met with Squire Hutchinson, and he gave me access to everything, I was able to look at all the supposedly Cycladic imports, some of which were Cycladic but others were not, and so I wrote an article called "Crete and the Cyclades Before Rhadamanthos", who was a great mythological figure, and Dr Alexiou invited me to publish that in his periodical, "Kretika Chronica" . So that was one of my first publications.

Baron Renfrew of Kaimsthorn is a British archaeologist known for his work on the dispersal of the Proto-Indo-Europeans and the prehistory of PIE languages.
