Professor of Archaeology

Education and Post-Doctoral Studies

Born and educated in Malta, the professor of archaeology delved into the world of classical history at the University of Palermo, where he earned his doctorate. His pursuit of knowledge continued at the University of London, where he completed his post-doctoral studies in Roman history.

Return to Malta and Archaeological Explorations

In 1971, the professor returned to Malta and dedicated himself to the archaeology of the island's prehistoric period. His expertise led him to head the Department of Classics and Archaeology at the University of Malta from 1989 onwards.

Restoration and Excavation

Under his initiative, a 19th-century Maltese farmhouse, previously demolished for a university parking lot, was meticulously restored. In collaboration with Cambridge University colleagues, he participated in excavations of an underground sanctuary in Ħal Safi (1987-1992). Since 1996, he has led excavations at the sanctuary and settlement of Tas-Silġ.
