Talk by Stuart Piggott
Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology in the University of Edinburgh
The recent excavations in Malta have for the first time enabled scholars to place the island within the prehistoric archaeology of the central and western Mediterranean. In this talk Professor
Piggott considers the evidence in a wider setting, and shows the importance of the Maltese settlements of the late third and second millennia B.C. in relation to contacts with other civilisations to the east and the west.
