Description As part of JADE 2 Project, prospection was undertaken on Syros, Tinos and Sifnos, the three cycladic islands where geologists had mantioned the presence of jadeitites orrocks containing jadeite. The arguments - as much archaeological as spectroradiometric - are thus strong for proposing an Alpine source fro the polished jade axeheads found in south-east Europe, and for a production on Syros that was limited or negligible.
