Simulating a stone roof for the Maltese Neolithic temples
The Neolithic temples of Malta are large megalithic structures built between 3700 BC and 2400 BC. Around 30 temples have survived to present day, providing extensive evidence of Neolithic culture in the Maltese islands. However, while the temple walls are generally well preserved, there is a longstanding debate regarding the nature of the temples' roofing, of which scarce indication remains. With material evidence existing both for wooden and sto…
The crux of astronomical alignment in Neolithic Malta
Like many prehistoric monuments, the Neolithic Temples of Malta have been the subject of astronomical studies, aimed at identifying possible alignments with cosmological events. The orientations of several sites have been suggested as evidence of an interest in the movement of the sun, moon, and stars, and of the importance of certain days such as the equinoxes and solstices. However, while individual sites may seem to align to specific events, a…
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…
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…
Recreating Neolithic Malta's domestic environment
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…
