Abstract (english)	Multi-method analysis has previously established that four out of 200 statues in Cyrene are dolomitic marble from the northern Aegean island of Thasos. Art historical analysis shows that three of the four are careful replicas of famous Greek prototypes, made by copying plaster casts of the originals. The fourth is a free interpretation of a now-obscure prototype. In two cases it seems likely that a workshop connected to Athens and Crete carved the Thasian marble, probably in Cyrene. Sculptors with a connection to Thasos may have been involved in finishing some or all of the sculptures, but the evidence is fragile.
