Heritage Malta, together with the Archaeological Society Malta, have launched the printed version of Sites, Artefacts and Landscape: Prehistoric Borġ in-Nadur, Malta.

This book attempts to understand the islands’ Bronze Age society in the course of the second millennium BC by exploring the history of Borġ in-Nadur in southeast Malta.

The book, edited by Davide Tanasi and Nicholas Vella, contains a collection of essays that discuss early attempts to understand this site and presents a comprehensive catalogue of the finds that have never previously been properly published.

The Bronze Age period of the Maltese archipelago has long been overlooked by archaeologists whose attention has mostly been focused on the Late Neolithic temples.

Borġ in-Nadur is the site of a megalithic temple that was also used in later periods when a fortified settlement was built on the plateau.

This site was visited by travellers and antiquarians in the course of the Early Modern period, and was investigated by archaeologists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sites, Artefacts and Landscape: Prehistoric Borġ in-Nadur, Malta considers the site in its local landscape setting and in its regional south-central Mediterranean context, and explores issues related to past and present public outreach, and site management.
