For Such a Time as This
In this theoretically informed article, we introduce and define Fugitive Pedagogy as a framework for action, building on Givens’s biography of Carter G. Woodson. We first introduce our current education context and outline the need for a Fugitive Pedagogy approach. We describe how we developed Fugitive Pedagogy as a theoretical and analytical framework in Spring 2023. We then exemplify the application of a Fugitive Pedagogy approach both reflexiv…
Awakening Ghosts of Grief
When the author is thirteen years old, her mother unexpectedly dies, leaving her father a single parent. She uses the event to explore how parental bereavement trauma shaped her adolescent development. The author touches upon several aspects of bereavement trauma including isolation, anxiety, confusion, sadness, anger, withdrawal, abandonment, and shame. The author provides insight into the culture of the parentally bereaved and traumatized adole…
From fragility to sustainability
The Maltese Archipelago is a microcosm of long-term Anthropocene human manipulation of the environment spanning the last 8000 years. Despite their apparent fragility, the islands continue to sustain an increasing population. This paper summarises the geoarchaeological methods employed by the ERC-funded FRAGSUS Project and an associated PhD project which explored the terraced landscapes of these islands. Our projects employed archaeological excava…
Analysis of periosteal lesions from commingled human remains at the Xagħra Circle hypogeum reveals the first case of probable scurvy from Neolithic Malta
ObjectivesPalaeopathological analysis is key for characterising population health at the individual level and across large assemblages but is rarely exploited to unite the remains of disarticulated individuals. This study explores the potential for individual identification through differential diagnosis of periosteal lesions in a commingled deposit, both to ascertain the number of individuals represented and provide a differential diagnosis.Mate…
Light and Dark in Prehistoric Malta
The Maltese islands offer an unusual opportunity for the analysis of the interplay of light and dark in a prehistoric context. The potential is provided by the excellent preservation of the architectural monuments which permit the framing of different scenarios of light and dark, tempered by the need to reconstruct tentatively some missing elements such as the roofs. A number of features, such as the intense sunshine and the dramatic storms, have…
Radiocarbon Dated Trends and Central Mediterranean Prehistory
This paper reviews the evidence for long term trends in anthropogenic activity and population dynamics across the Holocene in the central Mediterranean and the chronology of cultural events. The evidence for this has been constituted in a database of 4608 radiocarbon dates (of which 4515 were retained for analysis following initial screening) from 1195 archaeological sites in southern France, Italy and Malta, spanning the Mesolithic to Early Iron…
Placing and remembering the dead in late Neolithic Malta
This paper integrates the results of recent bioarchaeological and spatial analyses at one of the largest collective burial sites in Europe, the Xagħra Circle Hypogeum on Gozo. This suite of new approaches has addressed demography, funerary practices, interactions with the dead, and the changing use of space. Modelling structural events and reconstructing funerary practices from 2900 to 2350 cal BC, we trace persistent variation and flexibility in…

Island risks and the resilience of a prehistoric civilization
Resilience in the face of uncertainty is a universal issue, but of particular concern for small islands where climate change and accelerated sea-level change are current worries. This paper investigates the issues of resilience and uncertainty in the case of prehistoric Malta, which at face value presented a natural environment fraught with many risks. The authors survey these dangers, especially the potential damage to food crops caused by soil …
Celebrations in prehistoric Malta
This paper investigates the tempo of celebration in prehistoric Malta through the deployment of new fieldwork data and comparison with ethnographic study of modern celebrations on the same island. The article commemorates the late Jeremy Boissevain and his stimulation of new ways of thinking about prehistory, assesses and updates the 1990 article in World Archaeology by two of the current authors, and deploys new computerized modelling of celesti…

The Neolithic in Mediterranean Europe
The Mediterranean region represented a significant zone for the transmission of the Neolithic and its farming economy.This essay reviews the different mechanisms and geographic constraints that influenced the movement of farming and cultural trends, and assesses the current interpretative models as well as traditional approaches in the context of recent archaeological discoveries and publication.Neolithic evidence across southern Europe, from the…
Opening the Frontier
The frontier between Gubbio (ancient Umbria) and Perugia (ancient Etruria), in the northeast part of the modern region of Umbria, was founded in the late sixth century bc . The frontier endured in different forms, most notably in the late antique and medieval periods, as well as fleetingly in 1944, and is fossilized today in the local government boundaries. Archaeological, documentary and philological evidence are brought together to investigate …
Defying Disfranchisement
The story of Jim Crow in the South and the havoc it wrought on African American communities everywhere has been told over and over again from just about every imaginable angle. The basics of that story are ostensibly well known: black voter disfranchisement and separate public facilities; second-class citizenship; psychological humiliation and economic deprivation; the brutality of the lynch mob. That is why, after the false promises of Reconstru…
Metaphor and Maltese Art
Temple Period Malta in the 3rd millennium BC saw the production of a range of figurative and decorative art and architecture that implies a richly populated spiritual and cognitive world associated with ritual practice in life and death. The paper explores the potential to categorize the figurative art into distinct groups, and how these various images might represent aspects of the cosmology and social concerns of a prehistoric island society

Neolithic diet at the Brochtorff Circle, Malta
From Neolithic Malta, there is evidence of increasing population size accompanied by increasingly elaborate material culture, including the famous megalithic architecture. Stoddart et al. (1993) argued that social tensions and controls increased as food resources diminished. One important requirement of this argument is that the Neolithic inhabitants of Malta depended entirely on domesticated plants and animals for subsistence and therefore, with…

Monuments in an island society
Island societies have been the focus of two principal lines of archaeological theory: the \nprocesses of initial colonization (Cherry 1981) and the transformations of social hierarchy \n(Renfrew 1974). Both these themes have been heavily influenced by ethnographic studies \nof the Polynesian islands, the supposed laboratory of island development for the \ndisciplines of biogeography and social anthropology. It is the second line of enquiry that i…

Cult in an Island Society
This paper examines the cult practices of the Tarxien period on Malta (c. 3000–c. 2500 BC) within the wider context of island societies. A model of ritual organization is developed which emphasizes the isolation of Malta during the major phases of temple building. A comparison is made between two pairs of sites each comprising a temple and burial component, Tarxien and Hal Saflieni, Ggantija and the Brochtorff Circle. A more detailed comparison i…

Intensive survey of prehistoric sites in the Stilo region, Calabria
The results of a two-year field survey in Calabria are described. A number of specially designed ‘intensive’ field survey methods were devised and tested, and the results quantified. Through typological and fabric analysis of the pottery material recovered on the survey, some indication of the changing patterns of settlement in the region are detectable, and these have a number of implications relating to the questions of internal settlement orga…

A house for the temple builders
After many years new research is being undertaken into the prehistory of the islands of Malta at the invitation of the Maltese authorities. One of the early results of the work, started in 1987, is the discovery of evidence for domestic architecture to complement the already well known ritual monuments of the Maltese islands

Mortuary Ritual of 4th Millennium bc Malta
As part of the research of the joint Anglo-Maltese project on the island of Gozo, a Zebbug period rock-cut tomb was discovered in the south-east corner of the Brochtorff Circle. The integrity of this tomb and the interdisciplinary approach applied to its study make it a unique find from the Maltese islands and rare within the southern central Mediterranean. The article presents the stratigraphy, pottery, stone, shell and bone artefacts, skeletal …
Carbon-14 Chronology of Mortar from Excavations in the Medieval Church of Saint-Bénigne, Dijon, France
This study indicates, as the recent Carbon-14 analysis of lime mortar from the Episcopal Basilica at Stobi, Yugoslavia, that Carbon-14 mortar analysis is a valuable tool for dating successive phases of construction in historical monuments. At the Gothic church of Saint-Bénigne in Dijon, France, Carbon-14 analysis of lime mortar verified the archaeological discovery of the remains of four documented churches beneath the present building. Most impo…

Environment, soils and early agriculture in Apennine Central Italy
Many studies of early agriculture and soils in Europe and in Italy, in particular, concentrated on the prime soils; relatively little attention has been given to more marginal zones. Broad comparisons have often been made between modern soils and the distributions of sites and little attention has been paid to indicators of pedological change, such as snails and pollen. Recent archaeological and environmental research in the valley of Gubbio (Umb…
