📚 A wonderful start to the Archaeology Society Malta’s 2026–27 Lecture Series!

On 9 September, we were delighted to kick off our new lecture series with a special keynote lecture by Dr Andrzej Aleksander Romaniuk, held in collaboration with the Microvertebrate Working Group Meeting of the International Council for Archaeozoology.

Dr Romaniuk’s fascinating presentation, “The End of a Long Road – Closing a Decade of Archaeological Research on Micromammals in the Orkney Islands”, took us through a decade of archaeological research, offering fascinating insights into the study of micromammals and their contribution to understanding the past.

A big thank you to Dr Romaniuk for sharing his research with us, and to everyone who joined us at the Sala Pietru Pawl Saydon (ALT) at the University of Malta for this special event.

We look forward to welcoming you to the next lectures in our 2026–27 series! Stay tuned!🏺📖

Memories, Memories! A group of us from The Archaeological Society Malta was privileged to visit Libya in 2005. We toured the wonderful sites of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica as well as travelling south to Ghadames. What an amazing experience that was! We sincerely hope that UNESCO heeds the pleas of those who tried so hard to protect these archaeological sites through such difficult times.
