PALAEOLITHIC MAN AND HIS ENVIRONMENT IN MALTA Lecture delivered to the S.S.C.N. 9 April 1997 Excavations of the Pleistocene deposits in Malta have suggested the presence of two phases datable to the Late Middle Pleistocene (c.130,000-180,000 years ago) and the Late Upper Pleistocene (c.23,000-10,000 years ago). During the Late Middle Pleistocene the excavated fauna clearly suggest a wetter climate than that prevalent today. There is also evidence of a small lake in the west of Malta. However the presence of Laurel suggests a Mediterranean climate characterised by a hot dry season. The animals prevalent during this period included the dwarfed endemic hippopotamus and elephant species, besides extinct species of dormice, bats and avian remains. The deposits are generally referred to as Hippopotamus or Leithia cartei layer. No human remains or artefacts have been definitely associated with this stratigraphical layer. The mainland connection was again re-established during the last Ice Age period during Late Upper Pleistocene (23,000 - 10,000 years ago). During this phase the climate in the Central Mediterranean was cooler than that prevailing today. A large number of species have been excavated from the various Late Upper Pleistocene deposits on the Maltese Islands, the prevalent animals appear to have been stunted forms of deer ( Cervus elaphus ), scanty remains of small sized carnivores (

VALLETTA Valletta, the capital was built by Jean de la Valette, French Grand Master of the Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, after the epic siege of 1565. It dominates, in one wide sweep, the Island's historic Grand Harbour - one of the finest natural ports in Europe. Within its limited boundaries, the city reflects some of Malta's rich heritage of archaeology, history, architecture, art and culture. Viewing is essential. It's also worth spending a good part of a morning walking round this beautiful city. A camera would come in handy, particularly for the views on both sides of Valletta from the streets, which are laid out in a grid-like fashion. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes to provide sustinence during your visit. More details at Restaurants Places of interest worth visiting are: The National Museum of Archaeology . The more important collections covering Maltese archaeology are housed in the Auberge de Provence, Valletta, one of the Inns of the Knights of St John. Collections of prehistoric pottery, sculpture, statuettes, stone implements and personal ornaments recovered from the Maltese megalithic temples and other pre-historic sites are exhibited. Typical examples of tomb furniture of the Punic and Roman periods are also displayed. After two years of refurbishment, the Museum now boasts new prehistoric galleries . In addition to these galleries, the Museum will eventually have floors dedicated to the Bronze, Punic, Roman, Byzantine, Baroque and modern ages.

Box 17166 Sarasota, FL 34276 Summing Up, and the Way Forward. Dr. David Trump In the opening session, a number of distinguished speakers, fro m President de Marco down, spoke on the Maltese prehistoric heritage and the problems of its conservation. Then at the end, two specific examples of the threats, the proposed rubbish dump in a quarry close to Mnajdra and the continuing hostility of the hunting lobby in the islands, were vigorously debated. Between these, and more particularly relevant to the subject of the Conference, a stimulating and wide range of papers were presented. Some were illustrated by a traditional set of slides, run through a rather temperamental projector, others by several versions of state-of-the-art video equipment, though some of these were not without their glitches too. Though well behind the times on this one, I personally felt that some of these latter were leaving the archaeological content subservient to exploring the potential of the new techniques. While naturally concentrating on Malta, papers included to advantage comparative material from as far afield as the Aran Islands and Crete, Hadrian’s Wall and central Mexico. An equally wide range of topics and general themes was discussed, some old, some new. There is insufficient space here to comment on all of them, so the brief personal selection in no way reflects on those omitted.

Malta Project 2001 Project Director: Ayse Devrim Atauz Images from Xlendi site Summer 2001 was the second season of the Systematic Survey of the Maltese coastline by INA in cooperation with the National Museum of Archaeology. The objective of the present project is to locate the underwater cultural remains (i.e. shipwrecks, anchors, submerged settlements, aircraft wrecks, harbor structures) in the Maltese territorial waters, to document the discovered sites, and to conduct excavations when warranted. Our ultimate goal is to determine the role played by the Maltese islands throughout the history of the Mediterranean seafaring by answering questions such as: where the main harbors/anchorages were located, what products were exchanged/traded, and how did the major historical events effect the nature of long-distance trade and traders that frequented Malta. The growing results of our work signals that rewarding progress has been made in providing answers to our research questions. Divers getting ready to dive into the Marsamxett Harbor from the Old Quarantine Hospital In 2001, work was pursued in four major areas.

Issue A023 of 29 September 2002 Conference: Exploring Malta's Prehistoric Temple Culture 25, 26, 27, September 2003 at the DePorres Cultural Center in Sliema, Malta Website: http://www.otsf.org/EMPTC-conference.html The purpose of the conference is to encourage a broad examination of the megalithic monuments and related artifacts of Malta and Gozo from a variety of fields of research. The goal is to fill some of the gaps in understanding who these amazing prehistoric people were and what happened to them. It is further suggested that relationships between various aspects of the Maltese material and the antiquity of other regions may reveal pattern and association. The EMPTC conference will provide a meeting place for professionals and scholars from a variety of disciplines including Archaeology and Anthropology, History and Prehistory, the Physical and Social Sciences, Mythology and Folklore, Philosophy and Religion. The intent is to facilitate multi-disciplinary exchange of studies as focused on a common interest: identifying and understanding the Neolithic "Temple Culture" of the Maltese Islands. There has been a tendency to assume that the (Neolithic Maltese) islands were completely isolated, apart from the import of a few raw materials. It is high time that a more balanced assessment, under the headings architectural, religious and commercial, should be attempted.
