| Abstract: | One of the phenomenons which characterizes ancient societies is the consumption of food during particular occasions or rites of passage. These can include banquets were the deity is involved, normally within a sanctuary, or else during the burial of family members. There are many points of view connected with such rituals, and this makes the argument extremely complex. From an archaeological point of view, information and documentation for reconstruction can be found from different sources. These include literary sources and epigraphy, architectural and functional analysis of the structure, study of the archaeological deposits and also detailed study of the pottery used to prepare and serve the meal. This methodology shall be applied to the site of Tas-Silg in Marsaxlokk as described in this article. |
