Firstly, to question the tendency to read "Temple Period" representations as direct, straightforward scale models which represent their subject according to our modern preconceptions. And secondly, to suggest that these may instead be expressions of a highly sophisticated cognitive system of representation, which embody a different spectrum of knowledge and information, and which are sometimes more concerned with conveying perceptual sensations than correct proportions. 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/49348 Title: Xarolla Abstract: On a high point to the south of Zurrieq, built in the eighteenth century, stands Xarolla Windmill. Below it lies what remains of a late Roman catacomb cluster. The site, at Triq Sant' Andrija, measures c.30mts in length and lies along Triq Sant' Andrija which leads to Bakkari on the south. Until a year ago, it was an asphalted road. The site was briefly mentioned by Caruana in the late nineteenth century but remained unexplored. The road was opened up several times in the last fifty years to pass through various services: drainage, telephones, water, electricity. This necessitated cutting channels into the rock. The catacombs must have been immediately visible but no report was made to the Museums Department. Recently, however, interest in the site was revived through the Zurrieq Local Council which planned to create a garden area around the newly renovated windmill. 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/49347 Title: Some problems in Maltese archaeology Abstract: With local interest in the islands' archaeology booming, the Malta Archaeological Society playing a commendable role in both stimulating and meeting that demand, and the Museum Department and the University of Malta both engaging more actively in research, it seems a good moment to reconsider the many outstanding problems which still beset the subject, yet give it so much of its appeal. 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z
