Anniversary Address
By tradition this annual address is something of a miscellany, not to say a farrago. Among the many ingredients that may go into it, there is one element which is fairly constant, namely a certain amount of comment on the activities of the Society during the year just concluded, on changes in the staff and officers, and on any other notable events which have occurred. Any custom as time-honoured as this one should surely be regarded as venial, if…
In Memoriam Terence Powell
as we all knew him, though it appears that the first initial really stood for Thomas-died at the beginning of last Summer in Liverpool after an operation. His loss, deeply felt by archaeologists in Britain and elsewhere in Europe, is made more poignant for members of the Prehistoric Society by the still-fresh memory of his recent term as our President. The great success which he made of this, and even the mere fact that he was able to carry it th…
Neolithic Knossos; the Growth of a Settlement
The investigation of settlements as functional units is one of the cornerstones of the approach to prehistory that Grahame Clark has done so much to foster over the years. I hope therefore that the following account of the earliest phases in the development of one which played a role of major importance in the prehistory of Crete, and so of Europe, may be an appropriate contribution to the present collection of essays in his honour. The beginning…

The ‘Dolmens’ of Malta and the Origins of the Tarxien Cemetery Culture
The material from the cremation cemetery which was found by Sir T. Zammit in 1915 stratified above the earlier remains in the Tarxien temples raises some of the most fascinating and intricate problems in the whole of Maltese prehistory. Who were these bizarre people, whence did they come to Malta and at what date ? The excavator, basing himself on the ‘Copper Age’ appearance of the culture and the various parallels with early Trojan, Cycladic and…
Bossed Bone Plaques of the Second Millennium
EVER since, in 1893, Paolo Orsi published and described a group of these objects from the necropolis of Cava della Signora, Castelluccio, they have E been generally regarded as of the highest importance for the study of W. Mediterranean prehistory. Orsi himself immediately recognized the parallel with those which had then been recently unearthed by Schliemann at Troy, and since his time the validity of this parallel has been generally admitted by…
The Prehistoric Culture-Sequence in the Maltese Archipelago
The present paper is based on a new study of the material from all the prehistoric sites so far excavated in the Maltese Islands. This was made in the course of preparing for publication a Corpus of all the known monuments and material of the islands (for the Royal University of Malta). The results achieved, especially those gained by the intensive study of the pottery (much of it hitherto unpublished), seemed to justify more rapid publication th…
