概要 | This report represents several years of excavation (1987-1994) and analysis of the prehistoric Brocjtorff Circle and Xaghra on the island of Malta. The site consists of a number of circular structures... dubbed "temples" along with burials. The layers are from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. There were also finds of household materials, animal bones and artwork, including unusual sculptures of solidly built people. Malone (geology, archaeology and paleoecology, Queen's University, Belfast) and her colleagues provide a meticulous report of all finds, with diagrams and photos, as well as the geology and environment of the area. Several megalithic circles have been discovered that apparently date from the Neolithic period. Burials within them consist of articulated bones arranged in patterns. While the concluding chapter speculates on the purpose of these, the authors stress that there is no certain interpretation and that much more work is necessary on this important site.
