Abstract: An attempt to identify socially related patterns of mortuary ritual derived from observations on the spatial distribution of primary and secondary burials in that cultural phenomenon which evolved on the Maltese islands between the mid-4th and the mid-3rd millennia BC, i.e., from the earlier two phases during which no megalithic structures had yet been erected, to the culminating phase of the temple period.
Si propone di identificare modelli sociali del rituale funerario derivati dalle osservazioni sulla distribuzione spaziale delle sepolture primarie e secondarie in quel fenomeno culturale che si è evoluto sulle isole maltesi tra la metà del IV e la metà del III millennio a.C., cioè dalle prime due fasi durante le quali non erano ancora state erette strutture megalitiche, fino alla fase culminante del periodo dei templi. Parole chiave: Tardo Neolitico, ipogei, necropoli, distinzione sociale.
