amporae in cliff at Aghia Kyriaki, Melos
Some of the archaeological features are exposed in near vertical cliffs.  In the above view looking westwards towards the steeply eroded side of a gully in the centre of the Aghia Kyriaki area, Guy Sanders is discussing the two groups of near-vertical amphorae (feature F5, in area F) seen to be buried in the sediment high in the cliff. A thin layer of scree partly obscures the section and the precise disposition of the vessels.
