"This is an impressive report..should become a major work of reference for Maltese and Mediterranean prehistory.'"
Madeleine Hummler
Antiquity (Vol. 84, 2010)
"The achievements of the Gozo project and of this resulting monograph are undeniably significant. The re-discovery, modern scientific excavation, recording and analysis, and, now, full publication of the architecture and rich mortuary deposits of the Xag?ra Circle site are outstanding milestones in the history of the archaeology of the Maltese Islands. They add greatly to our knowledge of prehistoric Maltese mortuary practices, so poorly served by the (original) ‘excavation’ and publication of the Hal Saflieni hypogeum and other Maltese rockcut tombs. Indeed, the Xag?ra Circle, with its huge and carefully studied assemblage of human remains (some 220,000 bones, representing
over 800 individuals), now provides an important, world-class, example for the archaeology of death.'"
