Book Description
The large stone temple structures on Malta are amongst the earliest such constructions in the world, long before the pyramids were built in Egypt. This super book forms a pictorial record of all the temples on Malta, whilst also providing background information on the social and cultural history of the period. Built between c.3500 and 2500 BC, the temples reflect, and were part of, a period of great development on Malta and Gozo, especially in artistic and architectural terms. This is a clear, well illustrated account of the temple-building period, as well as of what went before and what came after.

Book Description
Originally thought to be a Christian catacomb when it was first discovered in 1902, the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum turned out to be a cemetery many centuries older. This book offers a concise history of the discovery and excavation of the site near Casal Paola on Malta, set within the context of prehistoric death cults and collective burial practices on this and neighbouring islands. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, the site is know to date back to at least 4000BC, probably earlier, and was in use over many centuries with various phases of elaboration and expansion. The many colour photographs present a vivid picture of the interior entranceways and underground caves, as well as finds from the excavations including pottery, figurine and red ochre wall paintings.
Book Description
A unique study on the figurative art of the people who lived in Malta some 5000 years ago. The prehistoric statues and figurines discovered in Malta's many megalithic temples and underground cemeteries are part of a rich material culture that has intrigued archaeologists and the public alike. Of these figures, those that depict the human form are perhaps most interesting, and have been studied in detail by Simon Stoddart, Caroline Malone and Anthony Bonanno. This book concentrates on these particular figurines. Contains new photographs.
