Archaeological Society of Malta

We recently received an email from Patricia Camilleri, the President of the Archaeological Society of Malta, alerting us to the Society’s new website. The Society invites membership by anyone with interest in archaeology, particularly Maltese archaeology, regardless of professional background. Its charter embraces:

... all matters pertaining to archaeology. One of its principal objectives is to promote and enhance the study of archaeology at all levels. ... It believes that it is only when there is a sufficient interest in, and understanding of, our archaeological heritage among the public at large, that this priceless heritage can be protected and preserved.

The Society organises meetings and seminars, some of which are open to the public, as well as site visits both in the Maltese Islands and abroad. It publishes the Malta Archaeological Review. It endeavours to maintain close relations with the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage, Heritage Malta and with the Department of Classics and Archaeology of the University of Malta and to support the activities all of these. It also maintains a network of relations with archaeological societies and organisations abroad.1
