Mortuary Customs in Prehistoric Malta: Excavations at the Brochtorff Circle at Xaghra, Gozo (1987-94)
edited by Caroline Malone, Simon Stoddart, Anthony Bonanno and David Trump
Amongst the earliest stone architecture in the world, the Neolithic temples and hypogea of Malta testify to a sophisticated island culture.

Late in the twentieth century, excavation at Xaghra on Gozo rediscovered a second cave cemetery that provides a unique comparison ...

edited by Nellie Phoca-Cosmetatou
The present volume provides a much needed contribution to island archaeology by examining the characteristics of the initial occupation of the Mediterranean islands.

Stone Vessels and Values in the Bronze Age Mediterranean
by Andrew Bevan
The societies that developed in the eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze Age produced the most prolific and diverse range of stone vessel traditions known at any time or anywhere in the world. Stone vessels are therefore a key class of artifact in the early history of this region. In this book, Andrew Bevan considers individual stone vessel industries in great detail. He also offers a highly comparative and value-led perspective on production, ...

The Tarxien Temples: Tarxien
by Anthony Pace
The megalithic temple complex of Tarxien was constructed at the height of Malta's late neolithic period, on a site that was used over a span of several millennia. The site appears to have first been used as early as 4100BC. The megalithic character of the site emerged as early as 3600BC, reaching a highly complex layout by about 3000BC. The Tarxien temples are, therefore, an important source of information. Their value lies in the wealth of ...

Megara Hyblaia and Selinous: Two Greek City-States in Archaic Sicily
by Franco de Angelis
The settlements made by Greeks in archaic Italy have largely been seen in terms of colonies duplicated from, and heavily dependant on, mainland Greece. The scarcity of the literary sources for this period makes the archaeological record crucial. Franco de Angelis makes use of both the archaeological and what literary evidence there is in reconstructing a history of Megara Hyblaia and Selinous, two settlements established by the Greeks during the ...
