@ Iazyges: hi again! Thanks for reviewing the article. I'm not sure if the Cyclades need much more of an explanation, but I've reworded the other parts of the article where you suggested changes. That includes the sentences about Roman Greece, the fifty-five homes with white chip pavement, the profession of Rachel Hachlili, and the symbol of Tanit. I also made a new pipe link for Ambrosia. As for the 354 mosaics being studied by Bruneau: from what I understand after reading multiple texts, there are only 354 mosaics that have truly survived; they didn't leave any mosaics out to the equation! I have amended the text to reflect that. Regards, -- Pericles of Athens Talk 07:26, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
@ PericlesofAthens: congratulations on bringing this article to FA and the front page. It is an interesting read. I couldn't find anything on the archaeological history of the mosaics - i.e. when they were discovered, when they were excavated, etc.
The first time Delos was described in modern literature was in 1771 see the original here on pages 85-87. But I don't see any reference to mosaics there, so I suspect they were not uncovered at that point.
Delos was then subject to a small excavation as part of the Morea expedition, so it might have been then that it was first discovered?
