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.
