| Abstract: | The Island Legacies Conference, taking place from 3–6 June 2025, is set to put Malta on the map following a discovery that has rewritten Maltese Prehistory. In its significant contribution to various fields of archaeology, Prof. Eleanor Scerri’s discovery has earned one of ten prestigious global National Geographic Grants. Her research, entailing an excavation in L-Aħrax, Mellieħa, reveals that humans settled in Malta earlier than previously thought. This offers an opportunity to better understand how the arrival of humans altered Malta's ecology and fauna. |
