Subject Description | This subject introduces the extensive material culture of Malta and Gozo, from the earliest settlements of the Neolithic farmers (c. 5000 BC) through the Phoenician colonization to the Roman period of the second century AD. One important goal is to situate Malta in the wider context of the ancient Mediterranean and examine issues that are specifically island-oriented. The rich heritage of the archipelago such as the numerous megalithic buildings of the Temple period [4100-2500 BC] will form the backdrop for a study of cultural organisation, land use, social hierarchy and religious practices. |
Assessment | Written work totalling 8000 words. |
