Title: Tas-Silġ, Marsaxlokk (Malta) Vol. 1 & 2 : Archaeological Excavations conducted by the University of Malta, 1996-2005 [Book review] Authors: Zammit, Abigail R. Abstract: This two-volume report is devoted to the ten-year excavation project carried out by the University of Malta at the multi-period sanctuary site of Tas-Silġ, in the south-eastern part of Malta, close to the Marsaxlokk Harbour. A site as significant as Tas-Silġ merited such lavishly detailed and beautifully illustrated monographs. Previous excavations by the Missione Archeologica Italiana (1963-1970) (in the Northern and part of the Southern enclosures) identified the site with the renowned sanctuary to Juno (the Phoenician Astarte) mentioned by Cicero and Ptolemy. The University of Malta revisited the site, under the direction of A. Bonanno (1996-2005) and A.J. Frendo (1996-1999), and the field supervision of S. Mason and N.C. Vella. [Excerpt]

Title: Tradition, time and narrative : rethinking the Late Neolithic of the Maltese Islands Authors: Vella Gregory, Isabelle Abstract: This paper reconsiders the Late Neolithic of the Maltese Islands from a broader perspective. It argues that the prevailing narrative centred on passzvely inherited cultural baggage obscures the dynamic narrative created by the ancient inhabitants. It is argued that a fuller understanding of the period requires an engagement with concepts of time and tradition, which are seen here on multiple scales. This enables a fuller reading of the period, particularly in terms of how people created and redefined time.
