SUMMARY:Heritage Malta’s Phoenician\, Roman and Medieval sites: a backstage preview
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Mr David Cardona\, Senior curator Phoenician\, Roman and medieval sites\, Heritage Malta. \nThe section of Heritage Malta’s Phoenician\, Roman and Medieval sites is one of the largest curatorial sections within the Agency. Its work is to maintain the sites entrusted to it\, make them accessible to present  patrons and preserve them for future generations. But what work goes on behind the scenes to make this possible? This lecture is a perfect opportunity to get a glimpse of all the different facets of the curatorial role within each and every site managed by this section. \nNB: The Archaeological Society Malta is a Collaborating Organization of International Archaeology Day organised by the Archaeological Institute of America.

SUMMARY:Controlling territory: the Greek fortress of San Basilio near Lentini\, Sicily
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Mr Italo Giordano\, specialised archaeological guide\, Sicily. \nNorth of the Greek colony of Leontinoi and on the southern edge of its ancient chora\, today’s Piana di Catania\, rises a hilly ridge from which the hill of Colle San Basilio stands out. The most ancient human traces of the site seem to date back to the Early Bronze Age (first half of the 2nd millennium BC) and human occupation is recorded until the medieval period (XIII cent.) in alternate periods. Its major development seems to be attested during the III century BC when it became a military outpost\, a phrourion\, to control the vast territory of the Greek city. Inside the fortress there is a monumental hypogeal building with pillars\, whose use\, although not yet clarified\, seems to find specific comparisons with numerous water cisterns distributed in the Mediterranean\, then transformed into a church during the medieval period when the site was granted in emphyteusis to the Basilian Monks by King Roger II.

SUMMARY:Exhibition – Core and Periphery: Mdina and Safi in the 9th and 10th centuries
DESCRIPTION:A special guided visit to a temporary exhibition at the National Museum of Archaeology\, Republic Street\, Valletta on Saturday 24 November at 2:30 pm. This has been very kindly offered by Heritage Malta to members of The Archaeological Society Malta. Mr Nathaniel Cutajar\, Principal Curator (Medieval) at the National Museum of Archaeology\, and archaeologist actively involved in the excavations\, will be leading the visit. Entrance is free and no prior booking is required. \nThis exhibition is the first of a series prepared by the National Museum of Archaeology dedicated to MEDIEVAL MALTA.  It  presents some of the results obtained from two rescue excavations carried out in Mdina in 2008 and Safi in 2015. Both excavations yielded precious archaeological information on Malta’s Dark Ages – a period of dramatic historical change that saw the end of Byzantine domination and the arrival of the Arabs in Malta. The ceramic typology for these periods is being presented for the first time\, as a way of introducing a wider discussion on the society and the economy of Malta in the 9th and 10th Centuries. In particular the exhibition focuses on the dual nature of urban versus rural life in the period.

SUMMARY:Looking down on archaeology – flying drones over archaeological sites
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Dr Ing. John Betts\, Senior lecturer\, Department of Classics and Archaeology\, University of Malta. \nUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)\, or as they are called colloquially\, drones\, have supported the documentation of cultural heritage and archaeology for over two decades\, with their use and potential having increased dramatically in the last six years as a result of the greater accessibility to affordable off-the-shelf drones with useful capabilities. The technology behind these small but useful remote-sensing platforms\, which can be used for aerial photography\, survey and archaeological prospection\, has facilitated the generation of image products ranging from photographic records to orthophotomosaics and 3D models\, and has enhanced the capability of rapidly documenting and monitoring sensitive locations. The basic concepts defining the use of UAVs and their potential and limitations will be considered\, and examples of use by the Low Altitude Remote Sensing Over Compact Sites (LARSOCS) project of the Department of Classics and Archaeology of the University of Malta will be presented.

SUMMARY:St. George and al-Khidr: A Mediterranean Saint for Christians and Muslims - NEW
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Dr. Erica Ferg\, assistant professor of Liberal Arts at Regis University in Denver\, Colorado\, where she teaches courses on Islam\, Christianity\, Judaism\, world religions\, and religious studies theories and methods.\nIn a region of the Eastern Mediterranean known as the Levant\, agricultural communities of Jews\, Christians\, and Muslims\, for at least the last 800 years\, have largely shared and jointly venerated three important holy figures: Jewish Elijah\, Christian St. George\, and Muslim al-Khidr. In the Eastern Mediterranean today\, this veneration mainly takes place around the figures of St. George and al-Khidr\, who are shared – and often conflated – between local communities of Christians and Muslims. This talk investigates the figures and the phenomenon\, and offers a useful example of shared religious practices in the Eastern Mediterranean.\nabstract

SUMMARY:Continuity and Change in regulating the Cultural Heritage Sector – the work of the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage. Mr Joseph Magro Conti is Superintendent of Cultural Heritage and Ms Bernardette Mercieca Spiteri is Cultural Heritage Executive at Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.\nThe Superintendence of Cultural Heritage was formed as a result of the Cultural Heritage Act 2002 to ensure the protection and accessibility of Malta’s cultural heritage. Since its formation the Superintendence has grown and become more efficient in addressing the challenges which have come about with a growth in the local construction industry. Recent years have also seen an increase in awareness to protect cultural heritage property and a growing interest in research in Maltese heritage both from local initiatives as well from international venues. This presentation revisits the roles of the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage and describes how it continues to carry out its mission to ensure protection and accessibility of the Malta’s cultural heritage\, while creating changes in the way it functions to ensure it is more efficient\, and also providing expertise in the different areas of cultural heritage.\nabstract

SUMMARY:Construction frenzy or changing ideologies? The case of Tas-Silġ\, Marsaxlokk
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Dr Maxine Anastasi (Lecturer\, Department of Classics and Archaeology\, University of Malta); Dr Ing. John C. Betts (Head of the Department of Classics and Archaeology\, University of Malta); and Francesco Fontanelli (Field Archaeologist for Phoenician\, Roman and Medieval Sites\, Heritage Malta).\nDr Maxine Anastasi and Dr Ing. John C. Betts from the Department of Classics and Archaeology\, University of Malta\, and Mr Francesco Fontanelli\, Heritage Malta\, will be giving the first results of a new excavation project at the multi-period sanctuary site of Tas-Silġ\, Marsaxlokk\, arguably one of Malta’s most important archaeological sites. It preserves over four millennia of ancient construction activity\, spanning the Late Neolithic period to the Early Modern era. Excavation revealed that the modern farmhouse sat directly on exciting and unexplored archaeological remains\, revealing important new insights into the story of Tas-Silġ past.\nNB The Archaeological Society Malta is a Collaborating Organization of International Archaeology Day organised by the Archaeological Institute of America. This event will be part of the International Archaeology Day on 19 October.\nabstract

SUMMARY:Maritime connectivity and cross-cultural interactions between Malta and Sicily during the Late Medieval period
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Dr Keith Buhagiar\, Visiting Lecturer in Palaeochristian\, Byzantine & Medieval Archaeology\, University of Malta.\nAn excerpt in the 1154 Tabula Rogeriana by Al-Idrisi\, published in Palermo\, Sicily\, mentions the medieval south-eastern Sicilian town of Scicli\, its giardini (agricultural estates) engaged in fruit production and maritime links with Calabria\, North Africa and Malta. This lecture will present ongoing research and will explore possible High and Late Medieval period cultural\, architectural and artistic influences filtering into Malta due to its maritime connectivity with the south-east Sicilian coast. It will also attempt the identification of Scicli’s long lost Norman period harbour of Marsa Sciklah\, the location of which has faded from popular memory.\nPhoto credit: Scicli Photo by Keith Buhagiar\nabstract

SUMMARY:Year 0 – the Melite Civitas Romana Project
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Mr David Cardona\, Senior Curator for Phoenician\, Roman and Medieval Sites\, Heritage Malta and Mr Robert Brown\, Roman Archaeologist\, Senior Ancient History Educator. \nThe study of Maltese Roman archaeology has always been high in the agenda of local and foreign researchers but it remained in the shadow of the more popular prehistoric research.\nThe remains around the Roman Domus in Mdina are a case in point. Although the importance of the site was immediately recognized upon its discovery\, the level of attention and documentation offered to this site is not of the same standard offered to other sites. Zammit’s excavations at the Domus were poorly documented\, with only the best artefacts kept for posterity and no record of stratigraphy. This has led to an incomplete interpretation and the impossibility for current archaeologists to challenge or confirm interpretations done almost a hundred years ago. It has become an archaeological cold case. \nThe Melite Civitas Romana Project has brought together a team of archaeologists and Roman specialists in the interest of gaining a better understanding of the Domus and its place in the broader archaeological environment. The project is a joint collaboration between Heritage Malta\, The University of South Florida and an independent research organisation Intercontinental Archaeology. \n2019 saw the start of the initial pre-excavation survey season. Dubbed Year Zero\, this season saw work carried out in preparation of excavations seasons to come\, and focused mainly on geophysical studies and 3D scanning. This presentation introduces the project and discusses the results of the 2019 Year Zero Season. The discussion will also indicate the direction of the project in its first field season in 2020. \nPhoto Credit: drone view of site (USF Idex) \nabstract
