Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... C > Christian Archaeology A B C D ... CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan Christian archaeology is that branch of the science of archaeology the object of which is the study of ancient Christian monuments. The modern historian who endeavours to reconstruct the life of the primitive Christians has two sources of information to draw upon, namely: literary and monumental sources. By literary sources is commonly understood the existing remains of early Christian literature; monumental sources consist of the various classes of objects of a material character surviving from antiquity, which were produced by Christians or under Christian influence, sepulchral inscriptions, paintings, sculptures churches, and the products of the minor arts. The principal aim of Christian archaeology, as indicated, is to ascertain all that is possible relative to the manners and customs of the early Christians from the monuments of Christian antiquity. Any attempt to determine the date when the period loosely designated "Christian Antiquity" gave place to the medieval period must of necessity be more or less arbitrary. As a consequence of this difficulty, differences of opinion exist among archaeologists as to the chronological limits to be assigned to

From times immemorial its sunny and natural harbors have sheltered prehistoric people, pirates, Phoenicians, Romans, Christians, Byzantines and Arabs. These are the islands of rocky creeks, small coves of red sand, underwater caves, yellow colored stone buildings and mythical megalithic cultures forever lost in history. Malta became world famous after the heroic Knights of St John, who settled on the island, defeated the imposing Turks in 1565. Come with us and discover these islands known for their friendly people, year-around sunshine and intriguing history. Day 1: Arrival Malta Airport.

Following our involvement at the international conference Computer Applications in Archaeology in Leiden (Holland) we have had further coverage at an international level, this time at an EU directed conference at Thessaloniki (Greece). The EU Conference on Training and Education in Archaeology in European countries had the UK perspective given in a paper by Dr Simon Stoddart and Jenni Butterworth (both from the Department of Archaeology). Emphasis was made on the initiatives and projects underway within the University of Bristol, raising considerable interest from other European delegates. Particular emphasis was placed on the computer based initiatives currently being worked on in Bristol and other sites. The potential of the Internet in archaeological education and information exchange was a topic of great interest, something that Bristol is actively involved in. At the beginning of May the Department of Archaeology was called in at extremely short notice to arrange and set up an archaeology based exhibition on Maltese archaeology for the opening of the new Maltese High Commission in Piccadilly, London. The Departments long term involvement with Maltese archaeology (in its tenth year) and the Gozo Research Project (with the associated excavations at the Brochtorff Circle) were the basis for an exhibition entitled "Malta in the Dawn of Civilisation".

Extractions: Malta Project 2001 Project Director: Ayse Devrim Atauz Summer 2001 was the second season of the Systematic Survey of the Maltese coastline by INA in cooperation with the National Museum of Archaeology. The objective of the present project is to locate the underwater cultural remains (i.e. shipwrecks, anchors, submerged settlements, aircraft wrecks, harbor structures) in the Maltese territorial waters, to document the discovered sites, and to conduct excavations when warranted. Our ultimate goal is to determine the role played by the Maltese islands throughout the history of the Mediterranean seafaring by answering questions such as: where the main harbors/anchorages were located, what products were exchanged/traded, and how did the major historical events effect the nature of long-distance trade and traders that frequented Malta. The growing results of our work signals that rewarding progress has been made in providing answers to our research questions. Divers getting ready to dive into the Marsamxett Harbor from the Old Quarantine Hospital In 2001, work was pursued in four major areas.

http://www.otsf.org/EMPTC-conference.html

Extractions: Summing Up, and the Way Forward. Dr. David Trump In the opening session, a number of distinguished speakers, fro m President de Marco down, spoke on the Maltese prehistoric heritage and the problems of its conservation. Then at the end, two specific examples of the threats, the proposed rubbish dump in a quarry close to Mnajdra and the continuing hostility of the hunting lobby in the islands, were vigorously debated. Between these, and more particularly relevant to the subject of the Conference, a stimulating and wide range of papers were presented. Some were illustrated by a traditional set of slides, run through a rather temperamental projector, others by several versions of state-of-the-art video equipment, though some of these were not without their glitches too. Though well behind the times on this one, I personally felt that some of these latter were leaving the archaeological content subservient to exploring the potential of the new techniques. While naturally concentrating on Malta, papers included to advantage comparative material from as far afield as the Aran Islands and Crete, Hadrians Wall and central Mexico. An equally wide range of topics and general themes was discussed, some old, some new. There is insufficient space here to comment on all of them, so the brief personal selection in no way reflects on those omitted.

The following is an extract from the Reports of the 4th (1980) and the 16th (1992) Sessions of the Committee: Seven megalithic temples are to be found on the islands of Malta and Gozo, each a result of an individual development. The Ggantija complex on the island of Gozo is remarkable for its superhuman achievements dating from [the Bronze Age] 3,600 BCE On the island of Malta, the temples of Hagar Qim, Mnajdra and Tarxien are unique architectural masterpieces, given the very limited resources of their builders. The Ta' Hagrat and Skorba complexes bear witness to the development of the temple tradition in Malta. The Hal Saflieni Hypogeum is an enormous subterranean structure excavated with cyclopean rigging to lift huge blocks of coralline limestone around the year 2500 bc (3,000 BCE). The Hypogeum, possibly conceived as a sanctuary, has been a necropolis since prehistoric times. The Megalithic Temples of the Maltese islands are on the prestigious World Heritage Sites list, but a few people know about these prehistoric free-standing stone structures in the world which are much older than the Pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge. This Web site is being constructed to give information about these sites and the other temple sites in Malta that are not on the UNESCO list.

Extractions: About the Department The Department offers B.A. and B.A.(Hons.) M.A. and Ph.D. degrees both in Archaeology and in Classics. Archaeology can be taken as a main area of study. The Programme is intended to provide students with as broad a base for this discipline as possible. The programme consists of a number of compulsory study units, including an introductory unit and a series of other study units covering as much as possible of the chronological divisions of central and eastern Mediterranean archaeology. These are followed by other study units focussing on Maltese archaeology in the same periods. Other units are concerned with aspects closely related to Archaeology, such as principles of Conservation and Scientific contributions to the discipline. Students are also recommended to take part in the Department's excavations. Classics may be taken either as a main or as a secondary area of study. The Latin and Greek languages and literature are studied. The programme is divided into two streams of courses intended to cater for students who join the Programme with an "A" or "O" level in Latin and Greek (Stream A), and others with no specific qualification at all (Stream B). Courses on various aspects of the Classical world are also offered.

Yet this small island of 243 square kilometers has a far greater importance in European prehistory due to its extraordinary collection of megalithic temples. Situated 80 kilometers south of Sicily and 370 kilometers east of the Tunisian coast, the island of Malta appears to have been first settled during the early Neolithic period by a wave of immigrants from the island of Sicily.

Extractions: PALAEOLITHIC MAN AND HIS ENVIRONMENT IN MALTA Lecture delivered to the S.S.C.N. 9 April 1997 Excavations of the Pleistocene deposits in Malta have suggested the presence of two phases datable to the Late Middle Pleistocene (c.130,000-180,000 years ago) and the Late Upper Pleistocene (c.23,000-10,000 years ago). During the Late Middle Pleistocene the excavated fauna clearly suggest a wetter climate than that prevalent today. There is also evidence of a small lake in the west of Malta. However the presence of Laurel suggests a Mediterranean climate characterised by a hot dry season. The animals prevalent during this period included the dwarfed endemic hippopotamus and elephant species, besides extinct species of dormice, bats and avian remains. The deposits are generally referred to as Hippopotamus or Leithia cartei layer. No human remains or artefacts have been definitely associated with this stratigraphical layer. The mainland connection was again re-established during the last Ice Age period during Late Upper Pleistocene (23,000 - 10,000 years ago). During this phase the climate in the Central Mediterranean was cooler than that prevailing today. A large number of species have been excavated from the various Late Upper Pleistocene deposits on the Maltese Islands, the prevalent animals appear to have been stunted forms of deer ( Cervus elaphus ), scanty remains of small sized carnivores (
