dc.description.abstract	The aims of the bilateral project between the University of Florence and the Museums Department of Malta are the study of the construction techniques, of the materials of the state of conservation and the restoration of five Maltese megalithic prehistoric temples (about 5000BC-2500BC). The building materials, two local limestones (Globigerina limestone and Coralline limestone) have been examined and consolidation and impregnation tests carried out. A detailed description is given of the construction technique, of the previous restorations and of the structural and material deterioration. The decay of the limestone consists of the dissolution of the carbonates by means of marine aerosols, and the physical effects of thermic incursions (decohesion, microcracks). Also a deep alveolization can be observed.	en_GB
