The issues raised in the editorial on Protecting Malta's Heritage in Stone (May 15) are truly deserving of public support considering the unique character of Malta's heritage. Yet, there is one tiny snag: rather than a "Lord Redfern" (of Folk Underground fame, perhaps? I allude to the song from their album Buried Things, which is not, altogether, out of place in an article on heritage!) surely the well-known description of Malta's prehistoric megalithic structures as the world's oldest free-standing stone architecture is the work of the distinguished British archaeologist Colin Lord Renfrew, Disney Professor of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge, Director of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, Master of Jesus College, Cambridge and the author of one of the classic texts of modern archaeological science, Before Civilisation - The Radiocarbon Revolution and Prehistoric Europe (London, 1973).
