Description
The excavations of the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum more than a century ago yielded many fascinating remains, including eleven near-complete skulls. These have been the centre of controversy for years, following their description by Sir Temi Zammit as ‘longheaded’. Let them spark your imagination in Heritage Malta’s new booklet, which examines these crania from an archaeological, osteological, and medical point of view.
Fost l-għadam u l-oġġetti li nstabu fl-Ipoġew ta’ Ħal Saflieni meta ġie skavat aktar minn mitt sena ilu, kien hemm ħdax-il kranju kważi sħaħ. Dawn kienu s-suġġett ta’ kontroversji għal bosta snin, billi Sir Temi Zammit kien iddeskriviehom bħala ‘rjus tawwalin’. Tista’ ssir taf aktar dwarhom fi ktejjeb ġdid ta’ Heritage Malta, li jeżaminahom mill-aspett arkeoloġiku, osteoloġiku, u mediku.
Written in both Maltese and English.
Dan il-ktieb huwa bilingwi.
