SUMMARY:The Many Lives of Ancient Objects: A Biographical Approach to the Metamorphosis of Antiquities in Early Modern Malta
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Dr Jonathon Borg \nThis lecture explores the processes by which antiquities in the Maltese Islands were transformed into historic monuments between the sixteenth and early twentieth centuries. Adopting an object biography approach\, this study traces the afterlives of typologically diverse antiquities from their discovery through successive reinterpretations. Because such changes were often gradual\, the study employs a broad temporal perspective to provide a clearer narrative of how and why certain objects were valued and monumentalized while others were overlooked. This research examines the behavioural patterns and human actions that collectively illuminate how antiquities were reimagined as historic monuments. \n

SUMMARY:Malta’s Ancient Cart Ruts: Their age\, formation\, and context
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Mr Joel Grima \nThe origin of the Maltese cart ruts has been debated for nearly four centuries. Contemporary archaeological opinion remains divided\, broadly interpreting them as either cut to guide wheeled Punic and Roman carts\, or worn by the repeated passage of late prehistoric vehicles. This research employs scientific and statistical techniques to address their enigmatic age\, formation\, and use. In addition to the suite of radiometric dating techniques and spatial-statistical analyses\, the study is underpinned by the largest dataset of Maltese cart rut sites compiled so far. This comprises data from 222 sites\, including 145 high-resolution 3D models which enable accurate\, consistent digitisation and morphometric analysis of cart ruts across Malta and Gozo. \n
